Review-ready Target Rationale

Why Glutamate [NMDA] receptor matters

As of 2026-09-13

Glutamate [NMDA] receptor is reviewed as Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1 (UniProt Q05586); Glutamate [NMDA] receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by major depressive disorder. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block.; 6 linked drugs keep this evidence frame grounded.; the current evidence base includes 8 approved drugs, 677 compounds, and 176 assays, with lead potency reaching pChEMBL 9.3.

Protein context
Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1

Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1 Sequence length is 938 aa.

Review this target as Glutamate [NMDA] receptor, mapped to UniProt Q05586. ChEMBL maps the protein component as Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1. Sequence length is 938 aa.

Disease context
major depressive disorder

Glutamate [NMDA] receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by major depressive disorder. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 6 linked drugs keep the rationale reviewable. 5 additional disease programs remain visible in the same card. Linked drugs include APIMOSTINEL, AV-101, ESKETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE.

Start review with major depressive disorder because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include APIMOSTINEL, AV-101, ESKETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE, KETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
