AFMK是松果激素褪黑激素的代谢产物，具有抗氧化，免疫调节和抗炎特性。首先在大鼠大脑中检测到AFMK，发现AFMK可用作褪黑激素合成和代谢的指标。 应用： AFMK 是褪黑激素的一种抗氧化代谢物，可减弱 X 射线诱导的小鼠 DNA、蛋白质和脂质氧化损伤。AFMK 是效果稍低的一种清洁剂，在生理 pH 值下的 pKa 为 8.7。具有抗氧化活性。AFMK 可通过调节细胞凋亡途径提高 Gemcitabine 在 PANC-1 细胞中的抗肿瘤作用。 AFMK is a metabolite of the pineal hormone melatonin that exhibits antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. AFMK was first detected in rat brain and was found to be useful as an index for melatonin synthesis and metabolism. Application： AFMK, antioxidant metabolite of Melatonin, attenuates X-ray-induced oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and lipids in mice. AFMK is a poorer scavenger. The pKa of AFMK at physiological pH is 8.7. Antioxidant capacity. AFMK improves the anti-tumor effect of Gemcitabine in PANC-1 cells through the modulation of apoptotic pathway.
