Ketamine and Phencyclidine: the good, the bad and the unexpected
摘要：
The history of ketamine and phencyclidine from their development as potential clinical anaesthetics, through drugs of abuse and animal models of schizophrenia to potential rapidly acting antidepressants is reviewed. The discovery in 1983 of the NMDA receptor antagonist property of ketamine and phencyclidine was a key step to understanding their pharmacology, including their psychotomimetic effects in man. This review describes the historical context and the course of that discovery and its expansion into other hallucinatory drugs. The relevance of these findings to modern hypotheses of schizophrenia and the implications for drug discovery are reviewed. The finding of the rapidly acting antidepressant effects of ketamine in man are discussed in relation to other glutamatergic mechanisms. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
