Almorexant

A dual orexin receptor antagonist, blocking the neuropeptides that keep us awake: studied as a sleeping pill for chronic insomnia up to a phase III trial completed in 2009, its development was stopped in 2011. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It comes off orexin receptors very slowly: in laboratory tests on the OX2 receptor its dissociation half-life is about four hours, an almost 'sticky' binding that can prolong its action.
