Vornorexant, also known by its developmental code names ORN-0829 and TS-142, is an orexin antagonist medication which is under development for the treatment of insomnia and sleep apnea.[3][4][5] It is a dual orexin OX1 and OX2 receptor antagonist (DORA).[5][6] The medication is taken by mouth.[1] As of June 2021, vornorexant is in phase 2 clinical trials for insomnia and phase 1 trials for sleep apnea.[3] It is under development by Taisho Pharmaceutical.[3]
Vornorexant has a time to peak of 2.5 hours and a relatively short elimination half-life of 1.3 to 3.3 hours.[1][2] It was designed to have a short half-life and duration in order to reduce next-day side effects like somnolence.[5]
