Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster homogenates incubated with tritiated 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptamine, or N-acetylserotonin have the ability of converting them into labelled indolamines, including melatonin. All these compounds were characterized by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography by comparison with nonradiolabelled standards, and melatonin by mass spectrometry and radioimmunoassay. On the other hand, the injection of pharmacological doses of melatonin into 2-day-old female flies diminishes the mating speed and the oviposition rate.Entities:
