Description: NV-5138 is an orally and centrally active small-molecule drug for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). It directly and selectively activates the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway by binding to and modulating sestrin2, a leucine amino acid sensor and upstream regulatory pathway. The mTORC1 pathway is the same signaling pathway that the NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine activates in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to mediate its rapid-acting antidepressant effects. A single oral dose of NV-5138 has been found to increase mTORC1 signaling and produce synaptogenesis in the mPFC and to induce rapid antidepressant effects in multiple animal models of depression.

Product Data:
Biological target: NV-5138, a leucine analog, is the first selective and orally active brain mTORC1 activator, binding to Sestrin2.
In vitro activity: This study reports NV-5138, a novel orally bioavailable compound that binds to Sestrin2 and activates mTORC1 both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with NV-5138 activates mTORC1 in leucine-starved unedited HEK-293T cells, but not in cells lacking all three Sestrins or the GATOR1 component Nprl3 indicating that compound activity requires an intact Sestrins/GATOR pathway (Fig. 2f,g). Reference: Sci Rep. 2019 Mar 11;9(1):4107. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30858438/
In vivo activity: The results demonstrate that a single dose of NV-5138 produced rapid and long-lasting antidepressant effects, and rapidly reversed anhedonia caused by chronic stress exposure. The antidepressant actions of NV-5138 required BDNF release as the behavioral responses are blocked by infusion of a BDNF neutralizing antibody into the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) or in mice with a knock-in of a BDNF polymorphism that blocks activity dependent BDNF release. NV-5138 administration also rapidly increased synapse number and function in the mPFC, and reversed the synaptic deficits caused by chronic stress.
