elinzanetant

An orally bioavailable neurokinin/tachykinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor; NK1R; NK-1R) and NK3 receptor (NK-3R; NK3R) antagonist, that may be used to treat vasomotor symptoms in menopausal woman. Upon oral administration, elinzanetant targets, competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1R and NK3R in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligands and neuropeptides substance P (SP; neurokinin-1; NK1) and neurokinin B (NKB). This inhibits NK1R/NK3R-mediated signal transduction and may prevent certain menopausal synpmtoms such as hot flashes. Neurokinin-mediated signaling may increase during hormone deficiency and may cause hot flashes.
