Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

ACT-462206 is an orally active, potent, brain-penetrant dual orexin 1/orexin 2 receptor antagonist. The orexin system consists of two G-protein-coupled receptors, the orexin 1 and orexin 2 receptors, widely expressed in diverse regions of the brain, and two peptide agonists, orexin A and orexin B, which are produced in a small assembly of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. The orexin system plays an important role in the maintenance of wakefulness.

Potent, dual orexin receptor antagonist.

TBD
In vivo activity:
In the present study, it was demonstrated that icv administration of DORA, ACT462206, a novel orexin receptor antagonist, significantly suppressed centrally administered ghrelin-induced feeding in rats. In addition, Fos immunohistochemistry revealed that centrally administered ghrelin induced Fos expression in the PVN, the Arc, and the LHA, which are areas related to feeding behavior. Fos expression was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with DORA; however, it remained significantly increased in those nuclei when compared to that after icv administration of ghrelin without DORA. It is worth noting that Fos expression of orexin-A-IR neurons induced by icv administration of ghrelin was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with DORA, but the Fos expression in orexin-A-IR neurons remained significantly increased.
