Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

6-Fluoromelatonin is a synthetic analog of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates sleep-wake cycles. It has been shown to possess similar biological activity to melatonin, with potential benefits for treating insomnia, jet lag, and other sleep disorders. 6-Fluoromelatonin has been studied for its pharmacological properties, including its binding affinity to melatonin receptors, its effects on circadian rhythms, and its antioxidant activity. Research into this compound seeks to investigate its potential therapeutic uses and to understand its interactions with the human body.'
