Orexin, orexin receptor antagonists and central cardiovascular control
Orexin makes an important contribution to the regulation of cardiovascular function. When injected centrally under anesthesia, orexin increases blood pressure, heart rate and sympathetic nerve activity. This is consistent with the location of orexin neurons in the hypothalamus and the distribution of orexin terminals in the central autonomic network. Thus, the two orexin receptors, Ox1R and Ox2...
متن کاملKinetic properties of “dual” orexin receptor antagonists at OX1R and OX2R orexin receptors
Orexin receptor antagonists represent attractive targets for the development of drugs for the treatment of insomnia. Both efficacy and safety are crucial in clinical settings and thorough investigations of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics can predict contributing factors such as duration of action and undesirable effects. To this end, we studied the interactions between various "dual" orex...
متن کاملOrexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor antagonists reduce ethanol self-administration in high-drinking rodent models
To examine the role of orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor activity on ethanol self-administration, compounds that differentially target orexin (OX) receptor subtypes were assessed in various self-administration paradigms using high-drinking rodent models. Effects of the OX1 antagonist SB334867, the OX2 antagonist LSN2424100, and the mixed OX1/2 antagonist almorexant (ACT-078573) on home cage ethano...
متن کاملOrexin directly excites orexin neurons through orexin 2 receptor.
Orexin neurons (hypocretin neurons) have a critical role in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness, especially in the maintenance of arousal. Here, we revealed that orexin neurons are directly and indirectly activated by orexin via the orexin 2 receptor (OX2R). Orexin B (1 μM) induced depolarization in orexin neurons, which was still observed in the presence of TTX (1 μM), AP-5 (50 μM), and CNQX (...
متن کاملOpportunities and perspectives for developing orexin receptor antagonists
The current special topics issue of Frontiers in Neuroscience “Insomnia and Beyond—Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Orexin Receptor Antagonists” comprises 20 papers from leaders in the orexin/hypocretin field presenting their latest findings and thorough reviews, and will undoubtedly serve as an important reference for others engaged in this field of study. Since the independent identific...
