[MELATONIN TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE AND ALLERGIC PATHOLOGY]
Abstract:
Some autoimmune and allergic diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, etc.) are accompanied with disturbances of the natural production of hormone melatonin by pineal gland and peripheral tissues. The administration of melatonin to animals and humans with such pathologies demonstrated showed a protective effect. It is proposed to carry out additional investigations of the possibility of using melatonin for the treatment of autoimmune disorders, after which it can be introduced into clinical practice.

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
