Biological Activity

Description Ramelteon (TAK-375) is a novel melatonin receptor agonist for human MT1 and MT2 receptors and chick forebrain melatonin receptors with Ki of 14 pM, 112 pM and 23.1 pM, respectively.
Features A tricyclic synthetic analog of melatonin.
Targets
MT1 receptor [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 MT receptor (chicken) [1]
(Cell-free assay)		 MT2 receptor [1]
(Cell-free assay)
14 pM(Ki) 23.1 pM(Ki) 112 pM(Ki)
In vitro
In vitro Ramelteon inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP production with IC50 of 21.2 pM in CHO cells. [1] Ramelteon has high affinity with recombinant human MT1 and MT2 receptors with pKi of 10.05 and 9.70, respectively. Ramelteon inhibits Xenopus laevis melanophore pigment granule aggregation with pEC50 of 11.48. [2] Ramelteon (1 nM) increases ERK1/2 phosphorylation not only in MT1/MT2 cerebellar granule cells but also in cerebellar granule cells expressing only one of the two melatonin receptors. 4P-PDOT blocks the stimulatory action of Ramelteon (1 nM) in MT1 KO cerebellar granule cells, while luzindole attenuates the action of Ramelteon (1 nM) in MT2 KO cerebellar granule cells. Ramelteon (100 μM) induces any pigment dispersion while melatonin completely disperses aggregated melanophores at 10 μM. [3]
In Vivo
In vivo Ramelteon (10 mg/kg, i/p) significantly reduces NREM sleep latency in rat and also produces a short-lasting increase in nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep duration, but the NREM power spectrum is unaltered. [2] Ramelteon (0.1 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg, p.o.) accelerates reentrainment of running wheel activity rhythm to the new lightdark cycle in rats without affecting learning or memory. [4] Ramelteon (0.03 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly shortens latency to sleep onset and significantly increases total duration of sleep in freely moving monkeys without affecting the general behavior of the monkeys.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
