Rolapitant HCl
CAS#: 914462-92-3 (HCl salt)
Description: Rolapitant, also known as SCH-619734, is an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon oral administration, rolapitant competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1-receptor in the central nervous system, thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligand, substance P (SP). This may prevent both SP-induced emesis and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The interaction of SP with the NK1-receptor plays a key role in the induction of nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Compared to other NK1-receptor antagonists, rolapitant has both a more rapid onset of action and a much longer half-life. Rolapitant was approved in 2015. Rolapitant hydrochloride is approved to be used with other drugs to prevent: Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
Synonym: SCH619734 SCH-619734; SCH 619734; Rolapitant, brand name: Varubi.
IUPAC/Chemical Name: (5S,8S)-8-(((R)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethoxy)methyl)-8-phenyl-1,7-diazaspiro[4.5]decan-2-one hydrochloride.
