Luzindole has been used as a MT1/MT2 receptor antagonist to detect the role of the melatonin receptor in neutrophil migration[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Luzindole is a melatonin (mel) receptor antagonist. It has higher affinity towards the Mel 1b receptor than the Mel 1a receptor subtype.[2]

Melatonin is an indolamine that is synthesized in the pineal gland and shows a wide range of physiological functions. Although the anti-aging properties of melatonin have been reported in a senescence-accelerated mouse model, whether melatonin modulates cellular senescence has not

Immunoenhancing attributes of melatonin (Mel) on the immunocompromised state induced by glucocorticoid is well known, but the involvement of their receptors in the modulation of immunity has never been studied in any rodent. The present study explores the role of

Melatonin (MLT) is a neurohormone known to be involved in the regulation of anxiety. Most of the physiological actions of MLT in the brain are mediated by two high-affinity G-protein-coupled receptors, denoted MT(1) and MT(2). However, the particular role of
