| Bioactivity | Agomelatine (S-20098) is a specific agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors with Kis of 0.1, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.27 nM for CHO-hMT1, HEK-hMT1, CHO-hMT2, and HEK-hMT2, respectively[1]. Agomelatine is a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist with pKis of 6.4 and 6.2 at native (porcine) and cloned, human 5-HT2C receptors, respectively[2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Agomelatine (S 20098) acts as a full agonist of MT1 and MT2 receptors with EC50s of 1.6±0.4, 0.10±0.04 nM for CHO hMT1, CHO-hMT2 (hΜΤ1 and hΜΤ2 receptors expressed in CHO or HEK cell membranes)[1].Agomelatine (S20098) also interacts with h5-HT2B receptors (6.6), whereas Agomelatine shows low affinity at native (rat)/cloned, human 5-HT2A (<5.0/5.3) and 5-HT1A (<5.0/5.2) receptors, and negligible (<5.0) affinity for other 5-HT receptors[2]. | ||||||||||||
