Abstract

Ketamine can rapidly alleviate symptoms of treatment-resistant major depression within hours of a single administration. While this finding offers a new and promising trajectory for novel therapeutic development, identifying rapid antidepressant mechanisms of action have proven especially difficult. The goal of the current study was to investigate the cellular actions of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine (HNK) – a metabolite of ketamine that has been shown preclinically to exert rapid antidepressant-like effects without dissociative-like properties and abuse potential.
