Biological Activity

[Description]:

8-M-PDOT (AH-002) is a selective melatonin MT2 receptor agonist. 8-M-PDOT is 5.2-fold selective for MT2 over MT1 receptors. 8-M-PDOT binds human recombinant MT2 and MT2 receptors with pKi values of 8.23 and 8.95 respectively. 8-M-PDOT has anxiolytic-like activity[1][2].

[Target]

pKi: 8.23 (Melatonin MT2 receptor) and 8.95 (Melatonin MT1 receptor)[2]

[In Vivo]

8-M-PDOT (10 µg/µL; administrated into the dorsal striatum by bilateral cannulas; for 30 minutes; male Wistar rats) treatment shows anxiolytic-like effect[2]. Animal Model: Male Wistar rats (280-320 g) with Rotenone[2] Dosage: 10 µg/µL Administration: Administrated into the dorsal striatum by bilateral cannulas; for 30 minutes Result: Increased percentage of time spent in the open arms and in the number of open arms entries.
