Product Data:
Biological target: Seltorexant is a selective OX2R antagonist (pKi values of 8.0 and 8.1 for human and rat OX2R).
In vitro activity: To be determined
In vivo activity: This study highlighted the potential of seltorexant as a candidate for insomnia treatment. In rats, single oral administration of seltorexant during the light phase reduced the latency to non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and prolonged NREM sleep time in the first 2 hours; REM sleep was minimally affected. Seltorexant did not increase dopamine release in rat nucleus accumbens or produce place preference in mice after subchronic conditioning, indicating that the compound lacks intrinsic motivational properties in contrast to zolpidem. All sleep parameters returned to baseline levels following discontinuation. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2015 Sep;354(3):471-82. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26177655/
