The discovery and development of melatonin receptor agonists was motivated by the need for more potent analogues than melatonin, with better pharmacokinetics and longer half-lives. Melatonin receptor agonists were developed with the melatonin structure as a model. [1] The melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and are expressed in ...

Melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) which bind melatonin. [1] Three types of melatonin receptors have been cloned.The MT 1 (or Mel 1A or MTNR1A) and MT 2 (or Mel 1B or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals, [2] while an additional melatonin receptor subtype MT 3 (or Mel 1C or MTNR1C) has been identified in amphibia and birds.

MDMA (Midomafetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, "ecstasy") – serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent and 5-HT 1 and 5-HT 2 receptor agonist – specifically under development as an aid to psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder [14] [15] [16]
Besides melatonin, certain synthetic melatonin receptor agonists like ramelteon, tasimelteon, and agomelatine are also used in medicine. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] In 2022, it was the 217th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.
Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist with both high affinity for melatonin MT 1 and MT 2 receptors and selectivity over the non-human MT 3 receptor. Ramelteon demonstrates full agonist activity in vitro in cells expressing human MT 1 or MT 2 receptors, and high selectivity for human MT 1 and MT 2 receptors compared to the non-human MT 3 ...
