HIDE SMILES / InChI
Esketamine is an S(+)-enantiomer of ketamine. It is a nonselective, noncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. A nasal spray, containing esketamine, was approved in 2019 for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression in adults, in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, and is marketed under tradename SPARAVATO. Esketamine is a schedule III drug product in the USA.
