Close

The drug shows similar affinity for the NMDA receptor as ketamine (K_i = 0.74 and 1.05 μM, respectively).^[1] It shows analgesic effects in rodents, with about twice the potency of ketamine, and potentiates morphine-induced analgesia.^[1] F-17475 substitutes for ketamine in rodent drug discrimination tests, suggesting that it may have dissociative hallucinogen effects in humans.^[1] However, F-17475 showed a greater margin of analgesic to dissociative-like effects than ketamine in rodents.^[1]

F-17475 was first described in the patent literature by 2012, developed by researchers at Pierre Fabre. The m-chloro derivative is slightly more potent, up to 10x stronger than ketamine, but had a less favorable side effect profile in animal tests.^[2]
