Tasimelteon
Tasimelteon is a selective melatonin receptor agonist (MT1 and MT2) approved for the treatment of non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, a circadian rhythm disorder particularly prevalent in totally blind individuals without light perception. It synchronizes the circadian clock by mimicking the endogenous action of melatonin on suprachiasmatic nucleus receptors. It is also being studied for major depressive disorder and other circadian-related conditions.
