ASP2535 is an inhibitor of the type 1 glycine transporter.[1] It could potentially be used in treatment of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
Potential uses
ASP2535 has been investigated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, it is able to inhibit the memory deficit induced by scopolamine, an anticholinergic agent.[1] It could also be used for schizophrenia since lack of NMDA receptor activation has been linked to schizophrenia, since glycine is required as a co-agonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, higher glycine levels may be able to restore normal receptor function.[2]
