Almorexant-13C-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of almorexant (Item No. 13638) by GC- or LC-MS. Almorexant is a dual antagonist of orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) and OX2R (Kis = 4.7 and 0.9 nM, respectively, in a radioligand binding assay).1 It decreases the latency to persistent non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and increases the duration of NREM and REM sleep in male rats when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.2 Almorexant (300 mg/kg) does not impair spatial learning and memory in the Morris water maze and does not reverse spatial memory impairments induced by scopolamine in rats.3
