The prevention of neurological disabilities following preterm birth remains a major public health challenge and efforts are still needed to test the neuroprotective properties of candidate molecules. Melatonin serves as a neuroprotectant in adult models of cerebral ischemia through its

A novel series of melatonin receptor ligands, characterized by a N-(substituted-anilinoethyl)amido scaffold, along with preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs), is presented. MT1 and MT2 receptor binding affinity and intrinsic activity have been modulated by the introduction of different substituents on the

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytrypamine) is the vertebrate hormone of the night: circulating levels at night are markedly higher than day levels. This increase is driven by precisely regulated increases in acetylation of serotonin in the pineal gland by arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT), the
