SJX-653 is a novel neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonist. The NK3 pathway is a central regulator of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and has also been implicated in the generation of hot flashes. Therefore, decreases of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone in men serve as sensitive pharmacodynamic (PD) markers of central NK3 antagonism.
