Rapastinel (formerly known as GLYX-13) is an investigational intravenous formulation of a novel NMDA receptor partial agonist, which is being evaluated for adjunctive treatment of Major depressive disorder, and has shown a rapid onset of antidepressant efficacy 1 day after a single dose in a Phase 2 clinical trial of patients with Major depressive disorder who had an inadequate response to one or more antidepressants. No psychotomimetic or hallucinogenic side effects were observed with rapastinel. Few adverse events were reported by 5% or more of subjects and these were rated as mild or moderate. These included headache, somnolence, dizziness, dysgeusia, and fatigue. On January 29, 2016, Allergan (who acquired Naurex in July 2015) announced that rapastinel had received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. FDA for adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder.

The enhancement of burst-evoked NMDAR EPSCs produced by 100 nM–1 uM GLYX-13 and, was converted by ifenprodil into a reduction in NMDAR currents, supporting the hypothesis that GLYX-13 produces enhancement of NMDAR-mediated conductance by a selective action on the glycine site of extrasynaptically enriched NMDARs that contain NR2B subunits.
