GR 13553 is a compound that falls within the tryptamine category. This substance is found in the venom of the Colorado River toad (Bufo alvarius) and shares a structural similarity with serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in the human body. Studies have explored GR 135531 for its role in promoting neuroplasticity, potentially offering insights into the management of neurological conditions. GR 135531 is a putative MEL-1 (melatonin MT3 receptor) agonist, showing low affinity for melatonin receptors MEL-1A-R and MEL-1B-R. Since GR 135531 binds to MT3 with such high affinity, this compound can be used to discriminate between the melatonin receptor subtypes (MEL-1A-R, MEL-1B-R, and MEL-1(MT3)).
