Competitive antagonist at OX1R and OX2R. Faster receptor association/dissociation kinetics than suvorexant (~16 sec dissociation vs ~57 sec) hypothesized to support sleep onset, with sufficient duration for maintenance. (1) ·
Competitive antagonist at OX1R and OX2R. First-in-class DORA. Receptor dissociation slower than lemborexant or daridorexant. (1) ·
Donepezil: reversible AChE inhibitor, increases synaptic acetylcholine. Memantine: uncompetitive low-affinity NMDA receptor antagonist, dampens pathological glutamate overactivation while preserving normal synaptic signaling. Targets two distinct mechanisms in Alzheimer's. (1) ·
Highly β1-selective adrenergic antagonist. Greater selectivity than metoprolol or atenolol. (1) ·
Human IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting aggregated forms of amyloid-β (Aβ), soluble oligomers and insoluble fibrils. Reduces Aβ plaque burden on PET imaging via Fc-mediated microglial clearance. Whether plaque reduction translates to clinical benefit is the core controversy. (1) ·
The d-enantiomer is a highly β1-selective antagonist; the l-enantiomer triggers endothelial nitric-oxide–mediated vasodilation. Unique among beta blockers for this NO mechanism. (1)
uses:
Alzheimer disease (FDA accelerated approval June 2021; '''withdrawn from market January 2024''' by manufacturer Biogen). At time of approval indicated for MCI or mild dementia stage of AD. (1) ·
Insomnia (sleep onset and/or maintenance) in adults (FDA-approved August 2014). Also studied for insomnia in mild-moderate Alzheimer disease. (1) ·
Insomnia (sleep onset and/or maintenance) in adults (FDA-approved Dec 2019) (1) ·
Insomnia (sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance) in adults (FDA-approved Jan 2022) (1) ·

starting dose:

5 mg PO at bedtime; may increase to 10 mg if inadequate (1) ·
For patients already stable on memantine 28 mg/d + donepezil 10 mg/d, switch to one capsule daily of equivalent strength (1) ·
