Views and perspectives on the indoleamines serotonin and melatonin in plants: past, present and future

Plant Signaling & Behavior, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 19(1)

Published: June 20, 2024

In the decades since their discovery in plants mid-to-late 1900s, melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) and serotonin (5-methoxytryptamine) have been established as own class of phytohormone become popular targets for examination study stress ameliorating compounds. The indoleamines play roles across plant life cycle from reproduction to morphogenesis environmental perception. There is growing interest harnessing power these neurotransmitters applied agricultural settings, particularly we face increasingly volatile climates food production; however, there still a lot learn about mechanisms indoleamine action plants. A recent explosion compounds has led exponential growth field research particular. This concept paper aims summarize current status highlight some emerging trends.

Melatonin’s Impact on Wound Healing

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(10), P. 1197 - 1197

Published: Oct. 2, 2024

Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) is an indoleamine compound that plays a critical role in the regulation of circadian rhythms. While melatonin primarily synthesized from amino acid tryptophan pineal gland brain, it can also be produced locally various tissues, such as skin and intestines. Melatonin's effects target tissues mediated through receptor-dependent mechanisms. Additionally, exerts actions via receptor-independent pathways. In biological systems, its endogenous metabolites often produce similar effects. injuries are common daily life, promoting optimal wound healing essential for patient well-being healthcare outcomes. Beyond regulating rhythms neuroendocrine hormone, may enhance (1) potent antioxidant properties, (2) anti-inflammatory actions, (3) infection control, (4) vascular reactivity angiogenesis, (5) analgesic (pain-relieving) effects, (6) anti-pruritic (anti-itch) This review aims to provide comprehensive overview scientific studies demonstrate melatonin's potential roles supporting effective healing.
