6-Chloromelatonin is a potent melatonin receptor agonist, a 5-methoxyindole compound that competes for presynaptic melatonin receptor sites in the rabbit retina, inhibiting the calcium-dependent release of [3H]dopamine with higher metabolic stability than melatonin. Chloromelatonin competitively binds to [3H]melatonin at MT2 receptors (pKi=9.77) and may be used to study insomnia and sleep disorders associated with depression.
