N-乙酰血清素(英语:N-Acetylserotonin,NAS,也作normelatonin)是一种天然存在的化合物,是从血清素到褪黑素的内源性合成的反应中间体[1][2]。它由血清素(又称为5-羟色胺)在N-乙酰基转移酶(AANAT)催化下与乙酰辅酶A反应产生,然后N-乙酰血清素再在乙酰血清素O-甲基转移酶(ASMT)催化下被S-腺苷甲硫氨酸甲基化为褪黑素。和褪黑素一样,N-乙酰血清素也是褪黑素受体(褪黑素受体1A、褪黑素受体1B和褪黑素受体1C)的激动剂,并且可以被认为是一种神经递质。[3][4][5][6]
最近,NAS已经显示出作为一种有效力的TrkB受体激动剂,而血清素和褪黑激素并没有此种机制。[3] 以"TrkB受体"为介导(TrkB-mediated)而产生出强劲的抗抑郁,神经保护(neuroprotection)和神经营养因子等效果。[3]
此外,光线照射抑制NAS的合成、和减少单胺氧化抑制剂的抗抑郁作用。[3] 这些数据强烈支持NAS在调节情绪和引起抗抑郁药的治疗效益之作用。
通过目前未知的机制,NAS可能是姿位性低血压的引发因子、且以"单胺氧化抑制剂"(MAOIs)作临床治疗。[7][8] It reduces blood pressure in rodents, and pinealectomy (the pineal gland being a major site of NAS and melatonin synthesis) abolishes the hypotensive effects of clorgyline.[7][8] 为什么"姿位性低血压"常见与"单胺氧化抑制剂"(MAOIs)一起发生,而不与SSRIs(这两者均增加NAS级别)一起,而这方面并不清楚。
