Fazamorexant (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name YZJ-1139) is an orexin receptor antagonist which is under development for the treatment of insomnia. [1] [4] [2] [3] It is taken by mouth. [1]

The drug acts as a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), or as an antagonist of both the orexin OX1 and OX2 receptors. [2] [3]

Fazamorexant is under development by Jiangsu Yangtze River Pharmaceutical Group and/or Shanghai Haiyan Pharmaceutical Technology in China. [1] [4] [2] As of September 2022, it is in phase 3 clinical trials for insomnia. [1] [4] [3] Relatively little public information is available on fazamorexant. [2] This was such that it had to be excluded from a 2020 literature review of orexin receptor antagonists for insomnia. [2]
