Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK) is a melatonin metabolite. Its direct precursor, acetyl-N-formyl-5-methoxykynurenamine (AFMK), is a product of melatonin metabolization in the brain (PMID: 23963910 ). AMK is a potent scavenger of several reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl, peroxyl, and carbonate radicals as well as the non-radical singlet oxygen (PMID: 14599344 , 18643875 ).
