Abstract

Daridorexant belongs to a class of drugs known as dual orexin receptor (OX1R and OX2R) antagonists. It achieves its function by blocking the binding of wake-promoting neuropeptides orexins. This novel mechanism is believed to turn down overactive wakefulness and as we know so far, most other treatments for insomnia can be sedating.
