Product Description: Agomelatine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Agomelatine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 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].
Formula: C15H17NO2
