Biological Activity
The affinity of Ramelteon metabolite M-II (M-II) for MT1 receptors is 10- and 2.5-fold lower than that of ramelteon and melatonin, respectively. Likewise, the affinity of M-II for MT2 receptors is approximately 5- and 1.5-fold lower than that of ramelteon and melatonin, respectively. Ramelteon metabolite M-II exhibits no affinity for quinone reductase 2 at concentrations up to 10 μM. Moreover, the selectivity of Ramelteon metabolite M-II for melatonin receptors relative to 215 targets including other receptors, transporters, ion channels and enzymes is investigated. Ramelteon metabolite M-II shows no significant affinities and activities for the other targets, except for the 5-HT2B receptor, for which the Ki value was 1.75±0.23 μM. The potency of Ramelteon metabolite M-II for MT1 receptors is approximately 17- and 4.3-fold lower than that of ramelteon and melatonin, respectively. Similarly, the potency of Ramelteon metabolite M-II for MT2 receptors is approximately 28- and 1.6-fold lower than that of ramelteon and melatonin, respectively[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (18.16 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (18.16 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Protocol
Cats[1]
Eight adult cats weighing 2.4-5.9 kg are used in each study. The cats are housed individually in rooms maintained at 22-26 °C with a 12-h light-dark cycle (lights on at 7.00 a.m.), fed once daily (9.00 a.m.) and given water ad libitum. The cats are anesthetized, and electrodes are surgically implanted for electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and electrooculogram (EOG) monitoring. After a recovery period of at least 7 days, the cats are well accustomed to the test chamber (65×35×45 cm). Ramelteon metabolite M-II is orally administered at 0.1 mL/kg to each cat using gelatin capsules. The effects of M-II on sleep are compared with those of the vehicle using a crossover design. The interval between trials is >6 days. The cats are given Ramelteon metabolite M-II (0.001, 0.01, 0.1 or 1 mg/kg) or vehicle between 9.55 and 10.00 a.m. Immediately after the administration, EEG, EOG and EMG recordings are started sequentially and lasted 8 h. The durations of sleep stages are measured after the administration of vehicle or M-II and are presented as mean percentages of time spent in each stage at each 2-hour period after administration[1].
