A molecular network map of orexin-orexin receptor signaling system
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022Orexins are excitatory neuropeptides, which are predominantly associated with feeding behavior, sleep-wake cycle and energy homeostasis. The orexinergic system comprises of HCRTR1 and HCRTR2, G-protein-coupled receptors of rhodopsin family and the endogenous ligands processed from HCRT pro-hormone, Orexin A and Orexin B.

The orexin neuropeptides bind to two G protein-coupled receptors, orexin-1 and -2. Small-molecule antagonism of the receptors has potential therapeutic utility in a number of areas, most notably insomnia, for which the most advanced dual orexin receptor antagonist has now completed clinical trials.

Orexins and orexin receptors: implication in feeding behavior
Regulatory Peptides, 1999Orexin-A and -B are initially identified as endogenous ligands for an orphan G protein coupled receptor. Since the discovery of orexins, investigations of their functions have been guided by their distribution in the lateral hypothalamic area, which has been implicated in feeding behavior.

Orexin Projections and Localization of Orexin Receptors
2006The past several years have provided important insights into the physiological significance of the central orexin system. An important component of these is an increased understanding of the unique neuroanatomy of the orexin/hypocretin system. The orexin peptides, orexin-A and orexin-B, are produced in a restricted region of the central nervous system,

Sleep, feeding, and neuropeptides: roles of orexins and orexin receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002Recent studies using molecular genetics in mice and dogs, as well as histopathological analyses of human disease, have come to the same conclusion: the human sleep disorder narcolepsy is caused by failure of signaling mediated by orexin (hypocretin) neuropeptides. These and other findings strongly suggest that the orexin system plays a critical role in

Selective orexin receptor antagonists
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2013The orexin, or hypocretin, neuropeptides (orexin-A and orexin-B) are produced on neurons in the hypothalamus which project to key areas of the brain that control sleep-wake states, modulation of food intake, panic, anxiety, emotion, reward and addictive behaviors.

“Reverse pharmacological” approaches, i.e., ligand identification using cell lines expressing orphan receptors, combined with genetic engineering techniques, have increased our understanding of novel signaling systems in the body (1). Orexin/hypocretin is the first example of the factors that were successfully applied using such approaches (2).

Orexins and Orexin Receptors: From Molecules to Integrative Physiology
2008Recent studies have implicated the orexin system as a critical regulator of sleep/wake states, feeding behavior, and reward processes. Orexin deficiency results in narcolepsy-cataplexy in humans, dogs, and rodents, suggesting that the orexin system is particularly important for maintenance of wakefulness.

[Orexins and orexin receptors].
Ceskoslovenska fysiologie, 1999The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated control of feeding and energy homeostasis. Two novel neuropeptides Orexin -A and -B were identified. Orexins activate two closely related G protein-coupled receptors and stimulate food consumption. They act also as mediators in the central feedback mechanism and regulates feeding behavior.

Antagonists of the orexin receptors
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2006Orexin-A and orexin-B are neuropeptides that are produced by neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. These neuropeptides bind and activate two closely related G-protein-coupled receptors, orexin-1 and orexin-2, and are involved in a variety of biological functions, including feeding, sleep–wake cycle, regulation of gastric acid secretion and reward ...
