| Name | 6-Chloromelatonin |
| Description | 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. Chloromelatonin competitively binds to [3H]melatonin at MT2 receptors (pKi=9.77) and may be used to study insomnia and sleep disorders associated with depression. |
| In vitro | 6-Chloromelatonin (10 pM, 1 nM, 100 nM, 10 μM; 72 h) inhibits forskolin-stimulated hCG-beta secretion in JEG-3 and BeWo cells in a dose-dependent manner but had no effect on basal human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG-beta) levels.[4]
6-Chloromelatonin competes for [3H]-melatonin binding sites in human platelet (Ki=11.4 nM).[3] |
| In vivo | 6-Chloromelatonin (0.5 mg/kg; injection; rats) on the day after the phase shift has markedly higher excretion rates of 6-Sulphatoxymelatonin compared with controls.[5] |
