2-(4,6-DIMETHYLPYRIMIDIN-2-YL)-5-((2-FLUORO-6-(2H-1,2,3-TRIAZOL-2-YL)PHENYL)CARBONYL)OCTAHYDROPYRROLO(3,4-C)PYRROLE (Seltorexant, MIN 202), a small molecule, selective orexin receptor type-2 antagonist, is being developed by Minerva Neurosciences and Janssen Research & Development for the treatment of insomnia and major depressive disorder. Seltorexant has shown high in vitro affinity (affinity pKi =8.0 and 6.1 for OX2R and OX1R respectively) for the human OX2R and approximates two logs selectivity ratio versus its affinity for the OX1R. Seltorexant demonstrated a dose-dependent normalization of sleep and a trend towards improvement of subjective depressive symptoms in antidepressant-treated MDD patients with residual insomnia. Additionally, seltorexant’s favorable PK profile as a potential sedative-hypnotic drug was confirmed in a MDD population and did not demonstrate unacceptable adverse events or unwanted next-day CNS effects. Seltorexant is in phase II clinical trials for both insomnia and MDD.
