General description

6-Hydroxymelatonin (6-OHM) is a melatonin metabolite. It is produced in the liver by the action of cytochrome P450 enzyme as well as by photodegradation of melatonin. In the central nervous system, it exists as a sulfated form. 6-OHM is a partial melatonin receptor MT2 agonist.

Application

6-Hydroxymelatonin has been used as a melatonin derivative to test its protective effects in ultra violet B (UVB)-induced oxidative stress melanocytes and keratinocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

6-Hydroxymelatonin (6-OHM) is an antioxidant with a free radical scavenging role. Like melatonin, it reduces the impact of UVB-induced oxidative stress in melanocytes. It also aids protection during iron (Fe2+)-induced neurotoxicity. 6-OHM effectively reduces lipid peroxidation and superoxide anion production induced by potassium cyanide (KCN).

Oxidative damage of biological macromolecules is a hallmark of most neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer, Parkinson and diffuse Lewy body diseases. Another important phenomenon involved in these disorders is the alteration of iron homeostasis, with an increase in iron levels.
