Review-ready Target Rationale

Why Orexin receptor type 2 matters

As of 2026-09-13

Orexin receptor type 2 is reviewed as Orexin receptor type 2 (UniProt O43614); Orexin receptor type 2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by insomnia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block.; 4 linked drugs keep this evidence frame grounded.; the current evidence base includes 5 approved drugs, 9063 compounds, and 288 assays, with lead potency reaching pChEMBL 10.4.

Disease context
insomnia

Orexin receptor type 2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by insomnia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 4 linked drugs keep the rationale reviewable. 5 additional disease programs remain visible in the same card. Linked drugs include DARIDOREXANT HYDROCHLORIDE, LEMBOREXANT, SB-649868.

Start review with insomnia because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include DARIDOREXANT HYDROCHLORIDE, LEMBOREXANT, SB-649868, SELTOREXANT. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
