About Melatonin
More information about this product: Melatonin is a biogenic amine that is found in animals, plants and microbes. Aaron B. Lerner of Yale University is credited for naming the hormone and for defining its chemical structure in 1958. In mammals, melatonin is produced by the pineal gland.
The pineal gland is small endocrine gland, about the size of a rice grain and shaped like a pine cone (hence the name), that is located in the center of the brain (rostro-dorsal to the superior colliculus) but outside the blood-brain barrier. The secretion of melatonin increases in darkness and decreases during exposure to light, thereby regulating the circadian rhythms of several biological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle. In particular, melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycle by chemically causing drowsiness and lowering the body temperature. Melatonin is also implicated in the regulation of mood, learning and memory, immune activity, dreaming, fertility and reproduction. Melatonin is also an effective antioxidant. Most of the actions of melatonin are mediated through the binding and activation of melatonin receptors. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may have lower than normal levels of melatonin. A 2008 study found that unaffected parents of individuals with ASD also have lower melatonin levels, and that the deficits were associated with low activity of the ASMT gene, which encodes the last enzyme of melatonin synthesis. Reduced melatonin production has also been proposed as a likely factor in the significantly higher cancer rates in night workers.

Melatonin is a type of Melatonin agonists
Melatonin agonists are a class of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that interact with melatonin receptors in the body. Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain and is involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle.
Melatonin agonists mimic the effects of melatonin by binding to melatonin receptors in the brain. By activating these receptors, they help regulate circadian rhythms and promote sleep. These APIs are commonly used in the treatment of sleep disorders, such as insomnia and jet lag.
One widely used melatonin agonist is ramelteon, which selectively binds to melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2. It has a high affinity for these receptors, making it effective in promoting sleep without causing significant side effects.
Melatonin agonists offer several advantages over traditional sleep medications. They have a favorable safety profile, with minimal risk of dependence or abuse. Unlike sedative-hypnotic drugs, melatonin agonists do not suppress natural sleep architecture and are less likely to cause daytime drowsiness.
In addition to their sleep-promoting properties, melatonin agonists have shown potential in the treatment of other conditions. Research suggests they may be beneficial in managing circadian rhythm disorders, such as shift work disorder and delayed sleep phase syndrome.
Overall, melatonin agonists are a promising class of pharmaceutical APIs for improving sleep quality and addressing sleep-related disorders. Their unique mechanism of action and favorable safety profile make them a valuable option for individuals seeking effective and reliable sleep aids.
