ACT-462206 is a new, potent, and selective dual orexin receptor antagonist that inhibits the stimulating effects of the orexin peptides at both the orexin 1 and 2 receptors. ACT-462206 shows anxiolytic-like properties in rodents without affecting cognition and motor function. It is therefore a potential candidate for the treatment of insomnia and was in phase I of clinical trial, but this research has been discontinued.

ACTIVE MOIETY
ACT-462206 was generally well tolerated. Sleepiness, headache, and fatigue were the most frequently reported adverse events. The incidence of sleepiness appeared dose-dependent. ACT-462206 was absorbed with a median tmax of 1.5-4.0 hours. The elimination half-life varied from 4.8 to 11.2 hours. A clinically relevant reduction in vigilance and attention, alertness, and motor coordination was recorded at ACT-462206 doses 200mg. The onset was between 20 and 45 minutes after drug intake, the maximum effect between 1 and 2 hours after drug administration, and these impairing effects largely disappeared within 8hours post-dose. Doses of 400-1,000mg ACT-462206 were similarly efficacious to 400mg almorexant, with a trend for an earlier onset of action with ACT-462206. The present results confirm the activity of ACT-462206 as an orexin antagonist.
