| - Ramelteon is the first in a new class of sleep agents that selectively binds to the melatonin receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). It is used for insomnia, particularly delayed sleep onset. Ramelteon has not been shown to produce dependence and has shown no potential for abuse. (en)

http://linked.open...mechanismOfAction
| - Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist with both high affinity for melatonin MT<sub>1</sub> and MT<sub>2</sub> receptors, and lower selectivity for the MT<sub>3</sub> receptor. Melatonin production is concurrent with nocturnal sleep, meaning that an increase in melatonin levels is related to the onset of self-reported sleepiness and an increase in sleep propensity. MT<sub>1</sub> receptors are believed to be responsible for regulation of sleepiness and facilitation of sleep onset, and MT<sub>2</sub> receptors are believed to mediate phase-shifting effects of melatonin on the circadian rhythm. While MT<sub>1</sub> and MT<sub>2</sub> receptors are associated with the sleep-wake cycle, MT<sub>3</sub> has a completely different profile, and therefore is not likely to be involved in the sleep-wake cycle. Remelteon has no appreciable affinity for the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor complex or receptors that bind neuropeptides, cytokines, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, or opiates.

| - Following oral administration of radiolabeled ramelteon, 84% of total radioactivity was excreted in urine and approximately 4% in feces, resulting in a mean recovery of 88%. Less than 0.1% of the dose was excreted in urine and feces as the parent compound. (en)
