7-Desmethyl-3-hydroxyagomelatine is a metabolite of Agomelatine and has less activity than Agomelatine. Agomelatine is a melatonergic (MT1 and MT2) agonist and 5-HT2C antagonist.
7-Desmethyl-agomelatine, a metabolite of Agomelatine, exhibits lower activity than Agomelatine, which functions as a melatonergic (MT1 and MT2) agonist and 5-HT2C antagonist.
Ramelteon metabolite M-II is the primary metabolite of Ramelteon and exhibits IC50 values of 208 pM and 1470 pM for human melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2), respectively. Ramelteon itself is a selective melatonin receptor agonist.
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.
