1. 爱豆传媒 Lemborexant (product name: DAYVIGO®)
Lemborexant, an orexin receptor antagonist, is Eisai’s in-house discovered and developed small molecule that inhibits orexin neurotransmission by binding competitively to the two subtypes of orexin receptors (orexin receptor 1 and 2). Fast on/off receptor kinetics of lemborexant to orexin receptors may influence lemborexant’s potential to facilitate improvements in sleep onset and maintenance with minimal morning residual effects. In June 2020, lemborexant was launched under the product name DAYVIGO in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with insomnia, characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance; and in July 2020, it was launched under the product name DAYVIGO in Japan for the treatment of insomnia. The agent was approved for the treatment of insomnia in Canada and Hong Kong, while new drug applications seeking approval for the treatment of insomnia were submitted in Australia, Asia and other countries.
