Abstract
SummaryThe pineal hormone melatonin is able to shift the timing of circadian
rhythms, including the sleep–wake cycle, and to promote sleep. Melatonin
agonists with similar properties have therapeutic potential for the
treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Depression is specifically
targeted by agomelatine, which is also a serotonin-2C (5-HT2C)
antagonist.
