(R)-Ketamine: Investigational Enantiomer for Neuropsychiatric Research.
(R)-Ketamine (arketamine) is the R-enantiomer of ketamine with a distinct glutamatergic profile versus (S)-ketamine. Preclinical work explores NMDA/AMPA dynamics, mTOR-linked plasticity, and mood-relevant neurocircuitry—while suggesting comparatively gentler acute dissociation in some contexts. Supplied strictly for research use only to qualified laboratories.
(R)-Ketamine Key Features
-
Enantiomer-specific pharmacology: Lower NMDA receptor potency than (S)-ketamine; active lines of inquiry include AMPA signaling and mTOR-related plasticity.
-
Translational relevance: Utilized in mechanistic studies of synaptic remodeling and neuroplasticity.
-
Quality & documentation: High-purity material with COA and batch traceability for consistent results.
Applications
-
Preclinical neuropharmacology (NMDA/AMPA, mTOR, plasticity)
-
Comparative enantiomer studies (R- vs S-ketamine)
-
In-vitro and in-vivo models of mood, cognition, and stress response
| Dose | Effects |
|---|---|
| 20 mg | Very mild relaxation, slight uplift in mood, minimal sensory changes, almost no dissociation. |
| 40 mg | Mild dissociation, subtle visual shifts, slightly immersive music or sound, still fully functional. |
| 60 mg | Noticeable dissociation, reduced body awareness, slight time distortion, mild K-hole-like sensations possible. |
| 80 mg | Moderate dissociation, internal focus, time distortion, body awareness reduced, can still communicate if needed. |
| 100 mg | Stronger dissociation, pronounced internal experience, mild-to-moderate K-hole, still less intense than equivalent S-ketamine. |
| 120 mg | Deep dissociation, near-K-hole experience, intense internal visual/cognitive focus, still less disorienting than S/racemic. |
| 150 mg | Very strong dissociation, full K-hole possible, profound internal experience, motor control severely impaired. |
| 200 mg | Extreme dissociation, near-anesthesia level, complete loss of environmental awareness, milder acute side effects than racemic/S |
