Pharmacology
The drug is a potent and selective partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT4 receptor.[2][3] It is highly selective against the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor and other closely related receptors.[2] The drug shows cognition- and memory-enhancing effects, neuroprotective effects, and antidepressant-like effects in preclinical research.[2][3][4] Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have been evaluated in humans.[2][5] In terms of chemical structure, the drug is an indazole derivative.[6]
Development
Usmarapride is under development by Suven Life Sciences.[1] As of September 2023, no recent development has been reported for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.[1] The drug has reached phase 1 clinical trials for both of these indications.[1]
