Licostinel (INN; development codeACEA-1021) is acompetitive,silent antagonist of theglycine site of theNMDA receptor (Kb = 5 nM).[1][2][3] It was under investigation by Acea Pharmaceuticals as aneuroprotective agent for the treatment ofcerebral ischemia associated withstroke andhead injuries but was ultimately never marketed.[1][2][4] Inclinical trials, licostinel did not producephencyclidine-likepsychotomimetic effects at the doses tested, though transientsedation,dizziness, andnausea were observed.[4][5] In addition to its actions at the NMDA receptor, licostinel also acts as an antagonist of theAMPA andkainate receptors at high concentrations (Kb = 0.9 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively).[3]
