Agomelatine (CAS 138112-76-2), chemically identified as N-[2-(7-methoxy-1-naphthyl)ethyl]acetamide, is a naphthalene analog of melatonin functioning as a potent melatonergic agonist (MT1/MT2) and 5-HT2C antagonist. Often referred to by its development code S-20098, this crystalline powder exhibits a unique pharmacological profile distinct from SSRIs and SNRIs. It is extensively utilized as the primary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in the manufacturing of antidepressant formulations intended for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). We provide this industrial material with competitive factory pricing to support continuous manufacturing operations, alongside options for customized specifications. Essential technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is readily available for all bulk supply orders.
