General description

The protective effect of 5-methoxytryptamine (a metabolite of melatonin) in human keratinocytes against ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation was studied.

Application

5-Methoxytryptamine was used as an agonist in the study of pharmacological profile of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1 receptor.
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Carboline disaccharide domain of shishijimicin A
  • Melatonin analogs for the reduction of intraocular pressure
  • 5-HT4 receptor ligands
  • inhibitors of sortase A and isocitrate lyase
  • Therapeutic agents for treatment of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury
  • Aurora and epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors
  • Agents for the treatment of human papillomavirus infection
  • Manzamine analogues for the control of neuroinflammation and cerebral infections
  • Inhibitors of pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • Tacrine-melatonin hybrids as multifunctional agents for alzheimer′s disease
