Fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, a water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent selectively binds to human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), inhibiting receptor binding of endogenous substance P and preventing substance P-induced emesis.

AT-121 is a dual μ-opioid and neuropeptide receptor partial agonist (Kis 16.49 and 3.67 nM, respectively). It stimulates [35S]GTPγS binding to cell membranes expressing either μ-opioid receptors or neuropeptide receptors (EC50s of 19.6 and 34.7 nM, respectively.)

N(G)-Nitro-D-arginine methyl ester (D-NAME) is the less active enantiomer of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester . D-NAME was initially thought to be inactive and was often used as a negative control for L-NAME. Later studies showed that D-NAME (40 mg/kg/day in rats) can have similar but less pronounced effects as L-NAME (40 mg/kg/day in rats) in the cardiovascular system, particularly at long-term timepoints. D-NAME (3-10 µg/mouse) had no effect on nociception in mice assessed using the tail flick test.
