EMEND (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) is an intravenous NK1 receptor antagonist approved in 2008 for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It is administered as a powder formulation and works by blocking substance P signaling in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and vomiting center. This small-molecule approach provides rapid onset compared to oral aprepitant.
