Derivatives of methoxetamine and major methoxetamine metabolites potently block NMDA receptors

N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in the brain are influenced by psychoactive drugs such as 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one (ketamine) and its analog 2-(ethylamino)-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cyclohexanone (methoxetamine).
