Antiemetic Neurokinin-1 Receptor Blockers

Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists are antiemetic drugs with unique anxiolytic, antidepressant, and antiemetic properties. The discovery of NK-1 receptor blockers was crucial in preventing emesis associated with cancer chemotherapy. The NK-1 receptor antagonist competitively binds to the NK-1 receptor, thereby blocking the binding of substance P and preventing the transmission of the emetic signal. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, mechanism of action, adverse event profile, and other crucial aspects of antiemetic NK-1 receptor blockers within the clinical setting. This activity also focuses on essential information required by members of an interprofessional team responsible for treating patients who stand to benefit therapeutically from these agents.
