mechanism:
None (2) ·
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) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000584-QINU`"' Binds the same insulin receptor as endogenous insulin with comparable mitogenic-to-metabolic ratio. Ultra-rapid formulations (Lyumjev) add treprostinil and citrate to accelerate absorption further'"`UNIQ--ref-00000585-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000005D0-QINU`"' Selectivity comes from the viral-kinase-only initial phosphorylation step, which is why uninfected cells generate minimal active drug'"`UNIQ--ref-000005D1-QINU`"'. Dose-adjust by renal function; rare crystalline nephropathy with rapid IV acyclovir. (1)
