Aprepitant(Cat No.:A000979)is a potent and selective antagonist of the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor, used primarily to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). It works by blocking the action of substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in the vomiting reflex, within the brain’s vomiting center. Aprepitant is part of a class of medications known as substance P antagonists and is often used in combination with other antiemetic agents to enhance efficacy. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier allows it to effectively prevent both acute and delayed phases of CINV.
