Enerisant is an experimental drug under investigation as a potential treatment for narcolepsy. It is a member of the histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist class of medications. [1] [2] [3]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

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

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]
