The orexin receptors are peptide-sensing G protein-coupled receptors that are intimately linked with regulation of the sleep/wake cycle. We used a recently solved X-ray structure of the orexin receptor subtype 2 in computational docking calculations with the aim to identify additional ligands with unprecedented chemotypes. We found validated ligands with a high hit rate of 29% out of those tested, none of them showing selectivity with respect to the orexin receptor subtype 1. #link# Furthermore, of the higher-affinity compounds exa
