Dette betyder, at agomelatin stimulerer melatoninreceptorerne MT1 og MT2 (disse receptorer aktiveres normalt af et naturligt hormon, melatonin) og det blokerer 5- HT2C - receptorerne (disse receptorer aktiveres normalt af en kemisk budbringer, serotonin).
This means that agomelatine stimulates the melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 (these receptors are normally activated by a natural hormone, melatonin) and it blocks the 5-HT2C receptors (these receptors are normally activated by a chemical messenger, serotonin).
