What is 5-Methoxytryptamine ?

Description

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.

The Uses of 5-Methoxytryptamine

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.

What are the applications of Application

5-Methoxytryptamine is a nonselective serotonin receptor agonist
