Rapastinel acetate is a modulator of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, exhibiting potent and long-acting antidepressant effects. It enhances long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission by transiently increasing NMDA receptor-mediated currents in hippocampal and medial prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons. Notably, Rapastinel acetate enhances NMDA receptor currents at low concentrations while decreasing them at higher concentrations, reflecting its unique interaction with distinct sites on the NMDA receptor complex. This modulation is associated with a reduced affinity to intracellular calcium inactivation sites, providing insights into its mechanism for augmenting NMDA receptor conductance.
