5-Methoxytryptamine (5-MT), also known as mexamine, is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. 5-MT has been shown to occur naturally in the body in low levels.It is biosynthesized via the deacetylation of melatonin in the pineal gland. The protective effect of 5-methoxytryptamine (a metabolite of melatonin) in human keratinocytes against ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation was studied.Melatonin and its metabolites ameliorate ultraviolet B-induced damage in human epidermal keratinocytes. |
Uses
5-Methoxytryptamine (Mexamine, Methoxytryptamine) is a tryptamine derivative that is closely related to the neurotransmitter Melatonin (M215000) and Serotonin (S274980).
It acts as a full agonist at the 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT4, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors but has no affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor.
| Serotonergic agonist An agent that has an affinity for serotonin receptors and is able to mimic the effects of serotonin by stimulating the physiologic activity at the cell receptors. Serotonin agonists are used as antidepressants, anxiolytics, and in the treatment of migraine disorders. |
