NBI-75043 is a potent and highly selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist or antihistamine which was under development for the treatment of insomnia but was never marketed. [2] [4] [5] [1] It is taken orally. [2] [3] The drug has been found to enhance both slow wave sleep and REM sleep in rodents. [1] Its elimination half-life was found to be 6.7 hours orally and 9.1 hours by intravenous injection in a clinical study. [3] For comparison, diphenhydramine had a half-life of 12 hours and 9.3 hours by these respective routes in the same study. [3] The chemical synthesis of NBI-75043 has been described. [1] NBI-75043 was under development by Neurocrine Biosciences. [2] It entered phase 1 clinical trials for insomnia in 2006 and completed a phase 1 trial the same year. [2] [4] No further development was reported after that and its development was eventually discontinued. [2] [4] Studies of NBI-75043 were published in 2009. [1] [3]
This compound appears to be NBI-75043, which was reported to have entered Phase I trials in 2006 [128]. No further development activity has been disclosed.
NBI-75043 (22) is a highly selective and potent H1 receptor antagonist that was under evaluation for safety and efficacy in the treatment of insomnia.
