Pathophysiology

• Increased physiological arousal

– Metabolic rate

– Sympathetic activation

– Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis

• Increased alertness– Conditioned state of hyperarousal

– Decreased sleep efficiency

– Normal MSLT

Disorders and physical conditions potentially ameliorated by

pharmacological activation or inhibition of orexin system

• Therapeutic Approach Disorders or Physical Conditions

• Activating orexin system Narcolepsy and other hypersomnia, Pain ,Diet-induced obesity (OX2R-selective) Inattentiveness, apathy.

Suvorexant

• Orexin receptor antagonist

• Orexin peptides A and B bind selectively to OX1R and OX2R

• Drugs that bind to both receptors are referred as DORAs

• Approve by the FDA on August 13 2014 for the treatment of insomnia

• Schedule IV of the control substance act
