Description:
Melatonin, produced in the pineal gland, is an endogenous regulator of circadian rhythms. It acts through the melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and has been shown to have anti-depressant activity in experimental models of clinical depression. Agomelatine is a metabolically stable analog of melatonin that displays agonist activity for MT1 and MT2 binding with nanomolar affinity. However, unlike melatonin, agomelatine is a competitive antagonist of human and porcine serotonin (5-HT2C) receptors (pKi = 6.2 and 6.4, respectively) as well as human 5-HT2B receptors (pKi = 6.6). Agomelatine abolishes 5-HT2C agonist effects both in cells and in vivo. It also dose dependently increases extracellular levels of noradrenaline and dopamine in frontal cortex of freely moving rats.
