Identification
Common Name6-Hydroxymelatonin
ClassSmall Molecule
Description6-Hydroxymelatonin, also known as lopac-H-0627, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxyindoles. These are organic compounds containing an indole moiety that carries a hydroxyl group. 6-Hydroxymelatonin is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 6-Hydroxymelatonin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 6-Hydroxymelatonin can be biosynthesized from melatonin through its interaction with the enzyme cytochrome P450 1A1. In cattle, 6-hydroxymelatonin is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
