Tulrampator (developmental code namesS-47445 ,CX-1632 ) is apositive allosteric modulator (PAM) of theAMPA receptor (AMPAR), anionotropic glutamate receptor , which is under development byRespireRx Pharmaceuticals (formerly Cortex Pharmaceuticals) andServier for the treatment ofmajor depressive disorder (as anadjunct ),Alzheimer's disease ,dementia , andmild cognitive impairment .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Tulrampator was inphase II clinical trial for depression, but failed to show superiority over placebo.[ 5] There are also phase II clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease andphase I trials for dementia and mild cognitive impairment.[ 2]
Tulrampator is a "high-impact" AMPAR potentiator,[ 6] unlike "low-impact" AMPAR potentiators likeCX-516 and itscongener farampator (CX-691, ORG-24448), and is able to elicit more robust increases in AMPAR activation.[ 7] In animals, high-impact AMPAR potentiators enhancecognition andmemory at low doses, but producemotor coordination disruptions ,convulsions , andneurotoxicity at higher doses.[ 8] Tulrampator itself has been found in animals to enhance cognition and memory, to produceantidepressant -,antianhedonic -, andanxiolytic -like effects, and to haveneurotrophic andneuroplasticity -promoting activities.[ 3] [ 4] Moreover, it has been found to increase levels ofbrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in thehippocampus and to stimulate hippocampalneurogenesis .[ 3] [ 9]
The rapidly-actingantidepressant effects of theNMDA receptor antagonist ketamine appear to be mediated through indirect/downstream activation of AMPARs.[ 3] This is evidenced by the fact that its antidepressant-like effects in animals are blocked by theAMPAR antagonist NBQX .[ 3] As such, tulrampator may be a rapid-acting antidepressant similarly to ketamine but without itsdissociative /hallucinogenic and certain otheradverse effects (e.g.,urotoxicity ).[ 3]
