5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Orexin Receptor Antagonists

Substances that bind to and inhibit the action of OREXIN RECEPTORS. Drugs in this class have been used as SLEEP AIDS, PHARMACEUTICAL. (See all compounds classified as Orexin Receptor Antagonists.)


Sleep Aids, Pharmaceutical

Drugs used to induce SLEEP, prevent SLEEPLESSNESS, or treat SLEEP INITIATION AND MAINTENANCE DISORDERS. (See all compounds classified as Sleep Aids, Pharmaceutical.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Peak concentrations occur at a median Tmax of 2 hours under fasted conditions. Ingestion of suvorexant with a high-fat meal has no effect on AUC or Cmax, but may delay Tmax by approximately 1.5 hours. Mean absolute bioavailability of 10 mg is 82%.


Route of Elimination

Approximately 66% is eliminated in feces and 23% is eliminated in urine.


Volume of Distribution

Mean volume of distribution is approximately 49 litres.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Suvorexant is primarily metabolized by cytochrome-P450 3A4 enzyme (CYP3A4) with a minor contribution from CYP2C19. Major circulating metabolites are suvorexant and a hydroxy-suvorexant metabolite, which is not expected to be pharmacologically active. There is potential for drug-drug interactions with drugs that inhibit or induce CYP3A4 activity.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Mean half life is approximately 12 hours.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Suvorexant is a dual antagonist of orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R. It exerts its pharmacological effect by inhibiting binding of neuropeptides orexin A and B, also known as hypocretin 1 and 2, that are produced by neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. These neurons control the wake-promoting centers of the brain and are active during wakefulness, especially during motor activities, and stop firing during sleep. By inhibiting the reinforcement of arousal systems, suvorexant use causes a decrease in arousal and wakefulness, rather than having a direct sleep-promoting effect.
