描述
Agomelatine is a novel antidepressant with a dual mechanism of action as a melatonin receptor agonist (MT?/MT?) and serotonin 5-HT?C receptor antagonist. It is widely studied in research involving mood regulation, neurogenesis, sleep-wake cycles, and chronobiology.

Mechanism of Action
Agomelatine exhibits a dual mechanism:
-
Agonist at MT? and MT? receptors, promoting circadian rhythm normalization.
-
Antagonist at 5-HT?C receptors, resulting in increased dopamine and norepinephrine release in the frontal cortex.
This unique action is useful in research models of depression, sleep disturbance, and neurochemical imbalance.
Research Applications
-
Depression & Mood Disorders
Used in preclinical models simulating major depressive disorder (MDD) and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). -
Sleep-Wake Cycle Studies
Improves sleep onset and continuity in animal circadian disruption models. -
Neuroplasticity & BDNF
Shown to upregulate BDNF expression, supporting studies on neuroregeneration. -
Non-serotonergic Antidepressant Research
Useful for investigating alternative antidepressant pathways without SSRI-like adverse effects.
Safety & Handling
-
Handling: Use gloves and protective equipment. Avoid direct contact with tablet powder.
