  <description>Agomelatine is an organic compound with the formula C15H17NO2 and an average molecular weight of 243.30 g/mol. Agomelatine belongs to the carboxylic acid derivatives, a subclass of carboxylic acids and derivatives within the organic compounds.

This compound is recorded as being found in or released from two sources: indoor air (air, dust &amp; atmospheric transport) and antidepressants (healthcare, pharmaceuticals &amp; veterinary products). Exposure routes for agomelatine include oral and inhalation. In terms of biological activity, the compound has three recorded protein targets, acting as an agonist or antagonist of the melatonin receptor type 1A (MTNR1A), melatonin receptor type 1B (MTNR1B), and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (HTR2C).</description>
