Ketamine and dodecyl maltoside synergy as a potential topical therapeutic approach for melanoma (skin cancer) (Idoudi, et al, 2025)

"These findings demonstrate that ketamine, particularly when combined with DDM, holds promise as a potential topical therapeutic strategy against melanoma."

Ketamine and dodecyl maltoside synergy as a potential topical therapeutic approach for melanoma - PubMed
Melanoma is the most aggressive subtype of skin cancer with limited treatment options due to toxicity and therapy resistance. This study investigates the anticancer potential of ketamine (KET), an anesthetic recently reported to have anticancer effects, in combination with dodecyl maltoside (DDM), a …

Evidence suggests that "IV racemic ketamine is more effective than IN esketamine in TRD; convergent preclinical and clinical findings support the hypothesis that arketamine plays a key role in this superiority and that ketamine’s antidepressant mechanisms extend beyond simple NMDAR antagonism."

"...evidence suggests that the use of serotonergic and non-serotonergic psychedelics (ketamine) for the treatment of SUD may provide advantages over traditional therapeutics, and these compounds may eventually become part of the next generation of treatments for SUD under specific circumstances."

Spotlight: Changing your mind: neuroplastic mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of psychedelics in depression, PTSD, and addiction (Palhas, et al, 2025)

"Serotonergic psychedelics & ketamine appear to share common cellular mechanisms. They both recruit glutamatergic neurons to stimulate BDNF-trKB signaling, promoting synaptogenesis via the mTOR pathway. These changes may explain their efficacy in depression, anxiety, PTSD, & addiction."
