It is involved in various biological functions, including pain perception, mood regulation, and immune response. By blocking this receptor, osanetant can potentially modulate these functions.

Potential Therapeutic Uses[edit]
Despite the discontinuation of its development, osanetant has potential therapeutic uses. Its ability to block the NK1R makes it a potential candidate for the treatment of conditions associated with this receptor. These include various psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as pain conditions.
