8-M-PDOT Usage And Synthesis

Description

8-M-PDOT is a melatonin receptor 2 (MT₂) agonist (K_i = 1.12 nM). It is 5.2-fold selective for MT₂ over MT₁ receptors in a radioligand binding assay. Striatal microinfusion of 8-M-PDOT (10 μg/μl) increases the percentage of time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze, indicating anxiolytic-like activity, in a rat model of rotenone-induced Parkinson''s disease.

Uses

AH 002 is a selective melatonin receptor agonist.

Biological Activity

Melatonin receptor agonist, 20-fold selective for the MT 2 (vs MT 1 ) subtype. At human recombinant MT 1 and MT 2 receptors, displays pK i values of 8.23 and 8.95 respectively.

in vivo
