Dalzanemdor (INN;[1] development code SAGE-718) is experimental drug being investigated for the treatment of neurological disorders and cognitive impairment.[2] It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the NMDA receptor, whose activity is essential for learning, memory, and cognition.[3] Dalzanemdor is an analog of the neurosteroid 24S-hydroxycholesterol.[3]

As of 2022, dalzanemdor is in Phase II clinical trials[3] for Alzheimer's disease,[4][5][6] Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.[7][8]
