The goal is, of course, being able to synthesize a new drug that offers antidepressant efficacy similar to ketamine, but without the side effects. The NIH is working to identify what mechanisms are responsible for the antidepressant effect of ketamine. There is some thought that there are downstream events that can be exploited, thus obviating the need for a ketamine-like drug.
