Fosnetupitant is a prodrug form of netupitant. Netupitant is a selective antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptors. Upon intravenous administration, fosnetupitant is converted by phosphatases to its active form. It competitively binds to and blocks the activity of NK-1 receptors in the central nervous system, by inhibiting binding of substance P (SP) to NK-1 receptors. This prevents delayed emesis, which is associated with SP secretion. AKYNZEO® is a combination of palonosetron, a serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, and netupitant (capsules for oral use) or fosnetupitant (injections for intravenous use). AKYNZEO® for injection is indicated in combination with dexamethasone in adults for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.   NCATS
