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.
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.
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with anti-aging properties.1,2,3,4 Dietary administration of epitalon (0.00001% w w) reduces levels of lipid peroxidation products in aged D. melanogaster tissue homogenates.1 Epitalon (1 μg animal) delays age-related estrous shutdown and decreases the frequency of bone marrow cell chromosomal aberrations in female mice.2 It decreases spontaneous mammary gland and ovarian tumor development and metastasis in aged female mice.3 Epitalon also stimulates melatonin synthesis and normalizes the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion in senescent female M. mulatta monkeys.4References1.

KS15 is a chemical compound that acts as an inhibitor on the interactions between cryptochromes, specifically CRY1 and CRY2, and the CLOCK: BMAL1 heterodimer. This compound, with an EC50 value of 4.9 μM, hinders the feedback actions of CRYs on E-box-dependent transcription. The CLOCK: BMAL1 heterodimer is a vital transcriptional regulator for the mammalian circadian clock. In addition, KS15 exhibits significant anti-proliferative activity.
PF-05236216 hydrochloride is a brain penetrant, potent and selective inhibitor of casein kinase 1 delta epsilon (CK1δ ε) that modulates circadian rhythms in mice.
Brevicompanine B is a fungal metabolite that has plant growth and circadian rhythm regulatory activity. Brevicompanine B inhibits primary root growth in Arabidopsis seedlings and disrupts the transcription of various genes involved in the regulation of plant circadian rhythm. It is active against P. falciparum.
Jujubosides have hypnotic effect on normal rats, may be influenced by circadian rhythm and the serotonergic system may involve in the hypnotic effect of jujubosides, jujubosides may be good source of lead compounds for novel hypnotics.
Potent, endogenous neuromedin U receptor agonist (EC50 values are 65 and 91 pM at NMU1 and NMU2 respectively). Induces phase shifts in the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity following i.c.v. administration. Potent endogenous anorexigenic peptide.
