99% Purity Melatonin CAS 73-31-4 N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine 10 Vials per Kit for Circadian Rhythm Research

99% Purity Melatonin CAS 73-31-4 N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine 10 Vials per Kit for Circadian Rhythm Research

Melatonin (N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that functions as a melatonin receptor agonist with activity at MT1 and MT2 receptors. It is a substituted indolealkylamine that plays a role in the regulation of circadian rhythms . This product is supplied as a powder with ≥99% purity (tested by HPLC) .

For laboratory research purposes only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

Melatonin is synthesized from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan and is released into the blood following a circadian rhythm pattern. The compound is an endogenous metabolite that acts as a free radical scavenger and exhibits antioxidant properties in research models .

The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline or powder form. It is soluble in ethanol and DMSO, with limited solubility in water . The compound is light-sensitive and should be protected from light exposure during handling and storage .

Each vial is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. The product is intended for in vitro and in vivo research applications, including cell culture studies, receptor binding assays, and circadian rhythm research.

Key Research Applications: Melatonin receptor signaling studies, circadian rhythm research, antioxidant mechanism investigations, cell culture supplementation, receptor binding assays.
