ACT-462206 is a dual orexin receptor antagonist (IC50 for OX1 = 60nM, OX2 = 11nM) which has been investigated for the treatment of insomnia. In human trials, ACT-462206 produced dose-dependent sedative effects and was generally well tolerated, with residual sleepiness and headache being the most common adverse events.[1]
