Sumatriptan succinate

Biological Activity

Sumatriptan succinate is a 5-HT1 serotonin receptor agonist. Sumatriptan reduces the vascular inflammation associated with migraine. Sumatriptan displays the highest affinity for 5-HT1D (Ki = 17 nM) and 5-HT1B (Ki = 27 nM) binding sites and is slightly less potent at 5-HT1A binding sites (Ki = 100 nM). Sumatriptan at a clinically relevant dose (100 mg/kg, s.c.) leads to a significant reduction of the mechanical allodynia-like behaviour on both the injured and the contralateral sides (peak-effects 6.3 g and 4.4 g, respectively) in a rat model of trigeminal neuropathic pain. Sumatriptan results in oral bioavailabilities of 37, 58 and 23% in rat, dog and rabbit, respectively. sumatriptan is cleared rapidly by metabolic and renal clearance with a half-life of 1-2 hour.

	Concentrations	3 mg/kg
	Incubation Time	2, 4 day
	Results	The AOC data from periorbital and hindpaw threshold (Figure 2 (c) and (d)) also demonstrated that CYM51317 (20mg/kg, p.o.) administration abolished stress-induced cutaneous allodynia in sumatriptan-primed rats.

	Concentrations	3 mg/kg
	Incubation Time	2, 4 day
	Results	Sumatriptan exposure with s.c. vehicle injections followed by BLS resulted in a significant reduction in periorbital thresholds, indicative of cutaneous allodynia, at 2 and 3 h after BLS.
