Sumatriptan Succinate

Overview

Basic Info

SummarySumatriptan is a small molecule drug and developed by GSK. Its first approved in 1996 in the USA. Sumatriptan binds with high affinity to human cloned 5-HT1B/1D receptors. Sumatriptan presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in the treatment of migraine and cluster headaches through agonist effects at the 5-HT1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system, which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release. Some scientists believe that sumatriptan may act as an agonist at the 5-HT1B/1D receptors, triggering a response and activating the receptors, which ultimately translates into a reprieve from the misery of migraine and cluster headaches.
