melatonin receptor

6-Chloromelatonin is a potent melatonin receptor agonist, a 5-methoxyindole compound that competes for presynaptic melatonin receptor sites in the rabbit retina, inhibiting the calcium-dependent release of [3H]dopamine with higher metabolic stability than melatonin.

N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (O-Demethylmelatonin) , also known as Normelatonin, is the immediate precursor of melatonin. It is produced from serotonin by the enzyme aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase and is converted to melatonin by acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase. It can potently activate TrkB receptor.

S26131 (N-[2-[7-[3-[8-(2-acetamidoethyl)naphthalen-2-yl]oxypropoxy]naphthalen-1-yl]ethyl]acetamide) behaves as an antagonist on MT1 and MT2 receptors with Ki of 0.5 and 112 nM respectively.

Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) is a diketopiperazine metabolite initially derived from Penicillium, exhibiting antibacterial (MICs = 125-1000 µg/ml) and antifungal activities (MICs = 8-64 µg/ml). It also demonstrates antioxidant properties by reducing the production of hydroxy radicals, as evidenced in an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy assay (IC50 = 1.8 µM). Additionally, Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) has been identified as a bitter compound capable of quickly crossing rat taste cell membranes ex vivo at a 1 mM concentration. Furthermore, it acts as a melatonin receptor agonist in X. laevis melanophores, suppressing cAMP accumulation at a 20 µM concentration, with this effect being negated by the melatonin receptor antagonist luzindole.

GR 196429, a melatonin receptor agonist, exhibits selectivity for the MT1 subtype. This compound not only promotes sleep and alters circadian rhythms but also stimulates melatonin release in mice.

TIK-301 is a chlorinated melatonin derivative and a potent, high-affinity, and orally active melatonin MT1 and MT2 receptors agonist (Kis: 0.081 nM and 0.042 nM, respectively). TIK-301 is also a 5-HT2B/5-HT2C receptor antagonist with antidepressant action. TIK-301 has the potential for sleep disorders and other circadian rhythm disorders treatment.

Ramelteon-d3 is a deuterated compound of Ramelteon. Ramelteon has a CAS number of 196597-26-9. Ramelteon is a Melatonin Receptor Agonist. The mechanism of action of ramelteon is as a Melatonin Receptor Agonist.

Tasimelteon-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of tasimelteon by GC- or LC-MS. Tasimelteon is a melatonin (MT) receptor agonist. It selectively binds MT1 and MT2 receptors over a panel of 160 additional receptors and enzymes at 10 µM. Tasimelteon inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation with EC50 values of 0.79 and 1 nM in NIH3T3 cells expressing the MT1 or MT2 receptor, respectively. Formulations containing tasimelteon have been used in the treatment of non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder.

ML-252 is a potent, selective inhibitor of the Kv7.2 voltage-gated potassium channel, demonstrating an IC50 value of 69 nM in patch clamp assays. It exists as the (S)-enantiomer, which is significantly more effective than both its (R)-enantiomer counterpart and the racemic mixture, with respective IC50 values of 944 nM and 160 nM. ML-252 exhibits high selectivity for Kv7.2 over other potassium channel subtypes and shows minimal activity against more than 68 G protein-coupled receptors, various transporters, L- and N-type calcium channels, K_ATP, and hERG potassium channels.
