Tasimelteon vs Melatonin
Though it is a derivative of Melatonin, they have their differences.
Below is a comparison of them.
1. Different categories. (Tasimelteon is regarded as an API, melatonin is treated as a nutritional supplement)
Tasimelteon is an active pharmaceutical ingredient and it was granted as an orphan drug by the FDA in 2010, while Melatonin is regarded as a nutritional supplement.
China State FDA has different requirements for pharmaceutical ingredients and food supplements.
2. Melatonin is safer.
Research has shown that low-dose melatonin is safe for children.
You can check melatonin powder for more details.
3. Cost Difference. (its pure powder costs 2500 times more than melatonin)
1G tasimelteon is worth almost 10kg of Melatonin.
The cost difference is mainly caused by: 1) the production scale. 2) Synthesis steps.
With small demands as an active ingredient of medicines compared with melatonin with huge demands from the market as a healthcare supplement, melatonin wins easily.
The commercialized production scale has reduced melatonin price to about 180usd/kg or less.
4. Synthesis process.
Its shortest synthesis route has 6 steps, and the longest route of synthesis has 18 steps. Longer synthesis steps mean less yield with the same amount of starting materials.
While there is a one-step synthesis method for melatonin and even the longest route only has 3 steps. You can check the routes below:

melatonin synthesis route
5. Isomer and Chirality.
As you can see from their chemical structures, tasimelteon is chiral and melatonin is not.
Isomers are also known as impurities. Due to the long synthesis steps for tasimelteon, tasimelteon has 6 isomers.
Melatonin only has 3 impurities.
6. Stability
As you can see from their structures, tasimelteon is less stable than melatonin.
This is decided by the triangle structure within it.
Tasimelteon vs Ramelteon
1. Usage differences as medicines and approval date by US FDA
Ramelteon is mainly used for delayed sleep onset, one particular symptom of insomnia.
It is marketed as Rozerem and approved by US FDA in 2005. It is good and non-addictive sleep medicine.
While tasimelteon, marketed as Hetlioz, is mainly used to treat sleep disorders, especially non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder. US FDA first approved it in 2013.
It is approved to help blind people get their sleeping circle back.
2. Safety.
Ramelteon is regarded as safe to use for people over 65 years old.
Tasimelteon has no guarantee of safety on this aspect. None of them are recommended for children though.
3. Cost difference.
The price of pure ramelteon is 10 times lower.
The cost difference can be caused by synthesis difficulties.
Also, tasimelteon is a relatively novel molecule compared to ramelteon.
4. Stability.
From its structure, we can see the triangle part, which is very sensitive to light, heat, and moisture.
That’s why all our molecule is either packed in amber bottles or sealed in alu-foil bags.
We need to take extra care of it.
