s20098

Agomelatine (Valdoxan) is structurally closely related to melatonin. Agomelatine is a potent agonist at melatonin receptors and an antagonist at serotonin-2C (5-HT2C) receptors, tested in an animal model of depression.

Agomelatine hydrochloride (S-20098 hydrochloride) is a specific MT1 and MT2 receptor agonist with Ki values of 0.1 nM for CHO-hMT1, 0.06 nM for HEK-hMT1, 0.12 nM for CHO-hMT2, and 0.27 nM for HEK-hMT2, respectively [1]. Additionally, Agomelatine hydrochloride is a selective antagonist of the 5-HT2C receptor with pKi values of 6.4 and 6.2 for native (porcine) and cloned human 5-HT2C receptors, respectively [2].

Agomelatine (L(+)-Tartaric acid) is a specific agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors (Kis: 0.1, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.27 nM for CHO-hMT1, HEK-hMT1, CHO-hMT2, and HEK-hMT2), and Agomelatine (S-20098). L(+)-Tartaric acid also functions as a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist (pKis: 6.4 and 6.2 at native porcine and cloned human 5-HT2C receptors), actively supporting research into melatonergic signaling pathways, receptor-mediated regulation, and novel psychiatric therapeutics by enabling precise modulation of circadian and serotonergic systems in cellular models to improve neuropharmacological understanding and experimental reproducibility across neuroscientific and clinical translational studies.

Agomelatine-D6 is a deuterium-labeled Agomelatine. Agomelatine (T1445) is a specific agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors.
