Enerisant is an experimental histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist being investigated as a potential treatment for sleep-wake disorders, particularly narcolepsy.[1][2][3]
Pharmacology
[edit]Pharmacodynamics
[edit]Enerisant functions as a potent and highly selective antagonist/inverse agonist of the histamine H3 receptor. This mechanism of action is similar to that of pitolisant, a currently approved H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist for narcolepsy; however, enerisant has demonstrated greater affinity and selectivity for the H3 receptor in preclinical studies.[1][2][3][4][5] By blocking H3 receptors, enerisant increases histamine release from histaminergic neurons, leading to stimulation of postsynaptic histamine H1 receptors, a key mechanism in promoting wakefulness[1][3][4]
Pharmacokinetics
[edit]Enerisant exhibits minimal metabolism in humans and is primarily eliminated unchanged via renal excretion. After oral administration, it rapidly absorbs and exhibits dose-dependent plasma concentrations. Within 48 hours, 64.5-89.9% of the administered dose is recovered unchanged in urine. Plasma protein binding is approximately 31.0–31.7% in humans.[1][5]
