Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Agomelatine (BAN, rINN; trade names Valdoxan, Melitor, Thymanax) is a melatonergic antidepressant developed by the pharmaceutical company Servier. It is marketed for the treatment of major depressive disorder and has been reported to not produce discontinuation syndrome and have no sexual side effects compared to SSRIs, SNRIs and the older tricyclic antidepressants. Agomelatine may also have positive effects on sleep. Agomelatine is a melatonergic agonist (MT1 and MT2 receptors) and 5-HT2C antagonist. Binding studies indicate that it has no effect on monoamine uptake and no affinity for α, β adrenergic, histaminergic, cholinergic, dopaminergic and benzodiazepine receptors.
