Description

Agomelatine is a potent agonist at melatonin receptors and an antagonist at serotonin receptors. It was designed to treat mood disorders, such as depression. It has been shown to improve mood by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopamine and noradrenaline. Agomelatine has beneficial phase-shifting effects in humans; it causes a sleep phase advance, a drop in body temperature, and an initial release of melatonin. According to controlled human studies, Agomelatine is equally effective at treating severe depression as the SSRI antidepressants paroxetine and sertraline.
