A preclinical study in animals has further characterised a new 'arousal' agent. Danavorexton (TAK-925) is an agonist for orexin receptor 2 where it promotes recovery from inhalational and i.v. anaesthesia and opioid sedation. Although danavorexton reverses opioid sedation, it does not compromise analgesia. This could be a useful addition to the postoperative drug cupboard.
