CAS 103628-46-2: Sumatriptan
Description:Sumatriptan is a medication primarily used to treat migraine headaches and cluster headaches. It belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which are selective agonists for serotonin receptors, specifically the 5-HT_1B and 5-HT_1D subtypes. The chemical formula of sumatriptan is C_14H_21N_3O_2S, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 295.4 g/mol. This compound is characterized by its sulfonamide group, which contributes to its pharmacological activity. Sumatriptan is typically administered in various forms, including oral tablets, nasal sprays, and injections, allowing for rapid onset of action. Its mechanism of action involves vasoconstriction of cranial blood vessels and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release, effectively alleviating migraine symptoms. Common side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, and sensations of tingling or warmth. Due to its specific action on serotonin receptors, sumatriptan is generally contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Overall, sumatriptan is a vital therapeutic option for managing acute migraine episodes.
