The drug is a novel esketamine analogue and conjugate that acts as a prodrug of esketamine.[3] Esketamine, and by extension XW10508, is an NMDA receptor antagonist and indirect AMPA receptor activator.[1][5] XW10508 is being developed as once-daily orally administered extended-release and immediate-release formulations with misuse resistance.[1][3]
As of August 2024, XW10508 is in phase 2 clinical trials for major depressive disorder and is in phase 1 clinical trials for chronic pain.[1][4][2] However, no recent development has been reported for these indications.[1] The drug is being developed by XWPharma, which was previously known as XW Laboratories.[1][4][2] It is being developed in Australia.[1][2] The chemical structure of XW10508 does not yet seem to have been disclosed.[1]
