Gene Information

Application

Agomelatine has been used:
  • to study its effects on adult neurogenesis and hippocampus apoptosis using the stress-induced depression model of rats
  • to explore its effects on tau protein phosphorylation and to study its neuroprotective mechanism
  • to study its effects on intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) signaling in peripheral neurons of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons

Biochem/physiol Actions

Agomelatine is an extremely potent agonist at both melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2), with additional antagonism at 5HT2C. It is a novel antidepressant with many desired in vivo properties, including neuroprotection and neurogenesis in depression-sensitive brain areas. Agomelatine′s efficacy appears to be due to both melatonergic and serotonergic properties. In neurogenesis assays, both in vitro and in vivo, the compound effects were differentially affected by antagonists for MT1/MT2 and 5HT2C, demonstrating actions through all three receptors.
Agomelatine modulates the sleep-wake cycle through its chronobiotic activity. It normalizes the sleep pattern in patients suffering from depression and seasonal mood disorder.

Pooled analysis of individual patient data was used to compare the antidepressant efficacy of agomelatine with that of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). We sought head-to-head, double-blind, randomized studies without a placebo arm

Agomelatine is an antidepressant with a novel mechanism of being a selective melatonergic MT₁/MT₂ receptor agonist with serotonin 5-HT(2c) receptor antagonist activities. Although the vast majority of the clinical data concerning the effectiveness of agomelatine concern its antidepressant properties, there

Alteration of nocturnal melatonin production, along with circadian rhythm disturbance, has been demonstrated in several psychiatric disorders. It has been postulated that such disturbances might be causal reflecting a more fundamental abnormality of the function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

European journal of pharmacology, 701(1-3), 213-217 (2012-12-29)
In the search for new compounds to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), with fewer side effects, we have found that agomelatine, a melatonin analogue, can reduce IOP being, therefore, interesting for the treatment of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. In normotensive conditions
