  • Highlights

    1. Clear MoA


    a) Orexin A and orexin B are hypothalamic neuropeptides.


    b) Orexin A and B combine with OX1R and OX2R to activate Gq PLC/PKC/ERK, Gs/AC/cAMP/PKA/ERK (and/or CREB, p38 MAPK) and Gi pathways.


    c) The OX2R signal through Gq/PLC/PKC pathway is stronger than OX1R signal.


    d) Gq/PLC/PKC pathway triggers PKC mediated calcium influx and releases intracellular calcium storage. The increase of calcium level makes neurons continuously excited, thus maintaining wakefulness.



    2. Efficacy—Compared with Zopiclone


    a) This asset has a short incubation period and takes effect quickly. The duration of the effect was moderate, and the effect basically disappeared after 8 hours, with little risk of side effects.


    b) It has no obvious influence on the process of shallow sleep (REM), which is conducive to the maintenance of normal sleep cycle and healthy sleep.


    c) It can promote deep (NREM) sleep and light (REM) sleep, and reduce the amount of sleep awakening.

    3. Safety—Compared with Suvorexant


    It has higher in vitro activity and target selectivity than Suvorexant, with better hERG and CYP values than Suvorexant.


    4. Indication extension potential


    It can further develop more sleep and cognitive related indications, including patients with sleep disorders in the population with other specific diseases.



    5. Phase II summary


    a) Induced a dose-response improvement on sleep efficiency in subjects with insomnia. had favorable safety profiles in the dose range studied.


    b) Had no obvious CNS adverse events compared with placebo, indicating fewer next-day residual effects.
