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

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Twenty-three indole-3-methanamines were designed, synthesized and evaluated as ligands for the 5-HT(4) receptor. Compounds I-d, I-j, I-o, I-q and I-u showed good affinity at 100 microM and I-o was found to be only 5-fold less potent than the agonists serotonin

Continuous identification and validation of novel drug targets require the development of rapid, reliable, and sensitive cell-based high-throughput screening (HTS) methods for proposed targets. Recently, the 5-HT(6) receptor (5-HT(6)R), a member of the class of recently discovered 5-HT receptors, has

5-Benzyloxytryptamine 19 was found to act as an antagonist of the TRPM8 ion-channel. For example, 19 had an IC(50) of 0.34 μM when menthol was used as the stimulating agonist. Related commercially-available tryptamine derivatives showed diminished, or no antagonist activity

5-MeO-DALT (N,N-diallyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a psychoactive substance, sold primarily over the Internet as a 'research chemical' or 'plant food'. Although details for the synthesis of this tryptamine have been available since 2004, its use as a hallucinogenic drug has been reported
