                                        Comment: ZZL-7 is a novel di-peptide with rapid-onset anti-depressant activity in in vivo models [1]. It binds to the PDZ domain of neuronal NOS (nNOS) and blocks its interaction with the serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT; SLC6A4) in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). This mechanism increases SERT translocation the cell surface, in turn increasing 5-HT transport out of the cell and into the intracellular space, with a resulting increase in firing of serotonergic neurons. ZZL-7 has been shown to readily cross the blood-brain barrier in mice following intravenous injection.
