Journal ArticleDOI

Agomelatine, the first melatonergic antidepressant: discovery, characterization and development.

TL;DR: Agomelatine (Valdoxan/Thymanax; Servier) was granted marketing authorization in 2009 for the treatment of major depression in Europe, thereby becoming the first approved antidepressant to incorporate a non-monoaminergic mechanism of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin Reduces Body Weight Gain in Sprague Dawley Rats with Diet-Induced Obesity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that melatonin may act as a regulator of body weight in a model of obesity and may prevent some of the side effects on glucose homeostasis such as decreased insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin analogues as agonists and antagonists in the circadian system and other brain areas

TL;DR: Results indicate that S20098 is an agonist acting probably on melatonin receptors in the Syrian hamster brain, and S20928 may have mixed agonist/antagonist properties, but at low doses appears to function as an antagonist at melatonin receptor in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and intergeniculate leaflet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-activity relationships and structural conformation of a novel urotensin II-related peptide.

TL;DR: This work synthesized a series of URP analogs and measured their binding affinity on hGPR14-transfected cells and their contractile activity in a rat aortic ring bioassay to find the most potent antagonist in this series.
