NCIt definition : The dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, the water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug
of aprepitant, with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid
conversion to aprepitant, this agent binds selectively to the human substance P/neurokinin
1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). This inhibits receptor binding
of the endogenous substance P and prevents substance P-induced emesis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used together with other drugs to prevent and control nausea and
vomiting caused by cancer treatment. It is given in a vein. It is a type of antiemetic
and a type of substance P/neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist.;
