    Review, Journal:  Pharmacotherapies Targeting GABA-Glutamate Neurotransmission for Treatment-Resistant Depression. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 25, 2023   
    Of the compounds reviewed here, three are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): esketamine (Spravato) for TRD, Auvelity (dextromethorphan-bupropion) for major depressive disorder (MDD), and brexanolone (Zulresso) for post-partum depression (PPD). Notably, some concerns have arisen with esketamine and brexanolone, which will be detailed in this study.

    Review, Journal:  Dextromethorphan-bupropion (Auvelity) for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 20, 2023   
    In both long-term studies, remission rates approached 70%, while response rates were greater than 80%. These data suggest that dextromethorphan-bupropion is an effective, fast-acting, and well tolerated option for depression treatment and produced remission in a large percentage of patients.

    A Review on the Use of NMDA Receptor Antagonist Therapy and Its Potential for Use in Adolescent Treatment-Resistant Depression (Americas Hall II (New York Hilton Midtown); In-person) -  Sep 30, 2023 - Abstract #AACAP2023AACAP_943;    
    This review focuses on NMDAR antagonists dextromethorphan/bupropion (ASX-05) and esmethadone-HCl and their potential for adolescent treatment-resistant depression...A recent phase 3 RCT looking at AXS-05 treatment in 327 adults found an average drop in the MADRS score of 22.2 within 2 weeks of initiation of treatment...With the recent development of lower-potency medications in the NMDAR antagonist class, there appears to already be a safer alternative that could be just as efficacious. Given the better safety profile compared to ketamine, further research should be conducted looking at using these lower-potency NMDAR antagonists in the adolescent population.

    Journal:  New Combination Drug for Depression. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 25, 2023   
    Auvelity, an extended-release fixed combination of dextromethorphan and bupropion, is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults.Like all antidepressants, dextromethorphan-bupropion carries a boxed warning that it may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric and young adult patients. Seizures can also occur and are more likely at higher doses.The most common adverse effects of dextromethorphan-bupropion include dizziness, nausea, headache, diarrhea, somnolence, dry mouth, sexual dysfunction, hyperhidrosis, anxiety, constipation, decreased appetite, and insomnia.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Novel antidepressant drugs: Beyond monoamine targets. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 27, 2023   
    The renaissance of psychedelic drugs and the emergence of preliminary positive clinical trial results with psilocybin, Ayahuasca, 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) may pave the way towards establishing this class of drugs as effective therapies for MDD, TRD and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Going beyond the monoamine targets appears to be an effective strategy to develop novel antidepressant drugs with superior efficacy, safety, and tolerability for the improved treatment of MDD and TRD.

    The reuse of drugs or combinations currently under investigation for the psychiatric treatment of Alzheimer's disease, including AXS-05, AVP-786, nabilone, brexpiprazole, methylphenidate, and pimavanserin, could provide physicians with additional treatment options. Although most of these drugs have not been explored in China yet, due to the current development trend in this field in China, it is expected that China will be involved in research on these drugs in the future.

    Clinical trials of agents discovered in the course of these activities are underway, and in 2022, AUVELITY™ (AXS-05; dextromethorphan with bupropion) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Drug development of post-ketamine agents should provide novel antidepressants that are safer, but as potent and rapidly acting as ketamine.

    Journal:  Adjunctive dopaminergic enhancement of esketamine in treatment-resistant depression. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 10, 2022   
    Recently, AXS-05, an oral combination of dextromethorphan and bupropion, has shown promise in both MDD and TRD clinical trials highlighting the potential validity of this mechanism. This paper describes how dopaminergic enhancement may increase efficacy of esketamine treatment and durability of response encouraging further research into this treatment option.

    Journal:  AXS-05: an investigational treatment for Alzheimer's disease-associated agitation. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 31, 2022   
    Early released clinical trial data indicate that AXS-05 may be a useful option to treat agitation in patients with AD, and that it appears to be generally well tolerated. AXS-05 may be especially helpful for patients with comorbid depression, when considering available data from separate phase III studies assessing the efficacy and safety of this compound in the treatment of depression.

    In conclusion, there is hope for new treatments in uni- and bipolar depression, as it became clear, after almost 7 decades of monoamine-modulating antidepressants, that new pathogenetic pathways should be targeted to increase the response rate in this population. These new compounds with novel mechanisms of action are expected to provide a greater variety of treatment options for depression if preliminary positive results are confirmed.

    Furthermore, to date, most have demonstrated relatively modest effects compared with (R,S)-ketamine and esketamine, though some have shown more favorable characteristics. Of these novel agents, the most promising, and the ones for which the most evidence exists, appear to be those targeting ionotropic glutamate receptors.
