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

As of 2022, SAGE-718 is in Phase II clinical trials[2] for Alzheimer's disease,[3][4][5] Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.[6][7]
