            Use of AFMKAFMK, 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[1][2]. AFMK improves the anti-tumor effect of Gemcitabine in PANC-1 cells through the modulation of apoptotic pathway[3].  |

| In Vitro | AFMK is one of the metabolites of melatonin and can be formed by both enzymatic or pseudoenzymatic and nonenzymatic metabolic pathways[1]. AFMK pretreatment significantly inhibits DNA damage. AFMK shows a very high level of in vitro hydroxyl radical scavenging potential which was measured by an electron spin resonance (ESR) study. IC50 values resulting from ESR analysis was 338.08 nM. AFMK, a melatonin metabolite, is a sparingly investigated biogenic amine[2]. AFMK administered to PANC-1 in combination with Gemcitabine inhibits the production of HSP70 and cIAP-2 as compared to the results obtained with Gemcitabine alone[3]. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line: Human pancreatic carcinoma cell line (PANC-1) Concentration: 0.001, 0.1, 10, 1000 nM Incubation Time: Result: Augmented the inhibitory effects on HSP70 expression from 0.47 (Gemcitabine alone) to 0.13 (10 nM AFMK), 0.08 (0.1 nM AFMK) and 0.01 (0.001 nM AFMK). | 
| In Vivo | AFMK is a potent antioxidant in vivo. AFMK significantly reverses radiation-induced decline in the total antioxidant capacity of plasma in mice[2]. Animal Model: Male C57BL mice 8 wk of age[2] Dosage: 10 mg/kg body weight Administration: Intraperitoneal injection Result: Radiation-induced decline in the total antioxidant capacity of plasma was significantly reversed in AFMK pretreated mice. AFMK-pretreated irradiated groups showed a significantly lower value of comet tail length and % DNA in tail. |
