Orexin Receptors

Orexin receptor antagonists block orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX1, OX2), which respond to orexin neuropeptides. Orexin A and orexin B were described in 1998 as hypothalamic peptides that act on these two G protein-coupled receptors. In 1999 a mutation in the orexin receptor 2 gene was found to cause canine narcolepsy. Mice lacking orexin showed a narcolepsy-like phenotype in the same year, linking the system to sleep and wakefulness. OX1 is also studied in reward, addiction and stress, and OX2 mainly in arousal. SB 334867, SB-408124 and GSK1059865 are OX1-selective antagonists, and MK-3697 targets OX2. Almorexant, TCS 1102 and nemorexant are dual antagonists that block both orexin receptors.
