General Description
• Melatonine is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that shows several biological activities, including the somnolence, sleep-wake cycle, circadian rhythm, stress response, aging, and immunity activities
• It shows antioxidant, autocoid, paracoid, hormonal, anti- inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities
Applications
• Melatonin shows neurohormonal activity and can upregulate antioxidant enzymes and inhibit rat NOS1
• Melatonin has been reported to be an activator of MEL-1A-R and MEL-1B-R
• The production and secretion of melatonine are dependent on beta-adrenergic receptor function
• During melatonine synthesis, the essential amino acid L-tryptophan is used as a precursor
• This compound inhibits apoptosis in immune cells and neurons, and enhances apoptotic cell death of cancer cells
• It can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells by modulating Rho-associated kinase protein-1 expression
