Filorexant (INN, USAN) (code name MK-6096) is an orexin antagonist which is or was under development by Merck for the treatment of insomnia.[1] It is a dual antagonist of the OX₁ and OX₂ receptors.[2][3] As of March 2014, filorexant has completed phase II clinical trials.[4] It was also investigated as a migraine prophylaxis, but was not found effective,[5] and in major depressive disorder and painful diabetic neuropathy.[6] As of May 2015, filorexant is no longer listed on Merck's online development pipeline.[7]
