Elinzanetant

Elinzanetant is a non-hormonal, selective, dual neurokinin 1 (NK-1) and 3 (NK-3) receptor antagonist. On July 23, 2025, it was approved by Health Canada to treat moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause. By blocking receptor signaling on kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDy) neurons, which are hyperactivated due to estrogen decline in menopause, elinzanetant modulates neuronal activity involved in thermo-regulation. Later the same year, it was approved in the US for the same indication. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Lynkuet, 2-(3, 5-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)PHENYL)-N-(4-(4-FLUORO-2-METHYLPHENYL)-6-((7S and 9AS)-7-. Its PubChem CID is 16063568.
