Abstract
Glutamatergic dysfunction and immune system dysregulation are both thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of depression. One potential convergence point for these systems is the kynurenine (KYN) pathway. Notably, ketamine has rapid-acting and sustained antidepressant properties. 7-chlorokynurenic acid is a NMDA antagonist at glycine binding site Its prodrug, AV-101 is assumed to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier and convert to 7-chlorokynurenic acid in the brain.
