Fosaprepitant (Emend for Injection (US), Ivemend (EU)) is a prodrug of Aprepitant. Once biologically activated, the drug acts as a substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist which, in combination with other antiemetic agents, is indicated for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. Aprepitant has little or no affinity for serotonin (5-HT3), dopamine, and corticosteroid receptors, the targets of existing therapies for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CI NV). Aprepitant has been shown in animal models to inhibit emesis induced by cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin, via central actions. Animal and human Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies with Aprepitant have shown that it crosses the blood brain barrier and occupies brain NK1 receptors. Animal and human studies show that Aprepitant augments the antiemetic activity of the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron and the corticosteroid ethasone and inhibits both the acute and delayed phases of cisplatin induced emesis. In summary, the active form of fosaprepitant is as an NK1 antagonist which is because it blocks signals given off by NK1 receptors. This therefore decreases the likelihood of vomiting in patients experiencing. Fosaprepitant is used for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.

Curator's Comment: can also be infused IV http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/206197Orig1s000lbl.pdf
Prevention of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 125 mg orally 1 hour prior to chemotherapy treatment (Day 1) and 80 mg orally once daily in the morning on Days 2 and 3. The package insert for the co-administered 5-HT3 antagonist must be consulted prior to initiation of treatment with EMEND (aprepitant capsules). Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: The recommended oral dosage of EMEND is 40 mg within 3 hours prior to induction of anesthesia EMEND may be taken with or without food.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Aprepitant suppressed HIV Bal infection of macrophages. Treatment with aprepitant (10(-6) M) inhibited infection of macrophages with the AZT- resistant viruses (A018, A012) by 0.7 log(10). Aprepitant also suppressed infection of macrophages with RT inhibitor-resistant virus (TC 49 and TC 60) by 0.5 log(10). Furthermore, aprepitant significantly enhanced the anti-HIV activity of antiretrovirals (AZT, Efavirenz, and Indinavir) in HIV Bal-infected macrophages, and aprepitant inhibited CCR5 expression on macrophages, ranging from 50.5 to 29.6%. Donor heterogeneity was observed in antiviral activity and CCR5 receptor expression.
Monocytes isolated from healthy donors were cultured for 7 days and then treated with or without aprepitant (10(-6) M) for 2 h, followed by HIV infection with drug-resistant strains for 2 h.
