Ramelteon Pharmacology
Ramelton is the first selective melatonin agonist. It works by mimicing melatonin (MT), a naturally occuring hormone that is produced during the sleep period. It has a high affinity for the MT1 and MT2 receptor. The MT1 and MT2 receptors are located in the brain's suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). The SCN is known as the body's "master clock" because it regulates the 24-hour sleep-wake cycle. Ramelton has an active metabolite that is less potent but circulates in higher concentrations than the parent compound. The metabolite also has weak affinity for the 5HT2b receptor.
