α-Methylmelatonin, also known asα-methyl-5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine, is asynthetictryptaminederivative andanalogue of themonoamine neurotransmittermelatonin.[1] It is ametabolite ofα-methyltryptophan,α-methyl-5-hydroxytryptophan, andα-methylserotonin that can be formed in small amounts viaaralkylamineN-acetyltransferase (AANAT).[1] α-Methyltryptophan and α-methyl-5-hydroxytryptophan areprodrugs of α-methylserotonin that haveserotonergic actions and have been suggested for potential therapeutic use.[2][3][4][5] However, while formation of α-methylmelatonin can occur from these compounds,α-alkylated tryptamines show 95% reduced suitability assubstrates for AANAT compared to non-α-alkylated tryptaminesin vitro and no α-methylmelatonin could be detected with administration of α-methyltryptophanin vivo in animals.[1] α-Methyl-N-acetylserotonin is anintermediate is the formation of α-methylmelatonin from α-methylserotonin.[1][6]
