Talnetant

Talnetant (pronounced: /tælˈnɛtænt/) is a neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist that was under development for the treatment of schizophrenia and other central nervous system disorders. It was developed by GlaxoSmithKline but its development was discontinued in 2009.

Etymology

The term "Talnetant" is a coined name, with no specific etymology. It is a common practice in pharmaceutical naming to create unique, non-descriptive names for new drugs.

Pharmacology

Talnetant acts by blocking the neurokinin 3 receptor, a protein that is involved in the transmission of pain signals in the body. By blocking this receptor, Talnetant can potentially reduce the symptoms of conditions such as schizophrenia and other central nervous system disorders.

Clinical Trials

Talnetant underwent Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia. However, the development of the drug was discontinued in 2009 due to lack of efficacy in the trials.
