  <description>Sumatriptan is an exogenous organic compound with the formula C14H21N3O2S and an average molecular weight of 295.40 g/mol. It exists as a solid at room temperature. Sumatriptan belongs to the tryptamines and derivatives, a subclass of indoles and derivatives within the organic compounds. This compound is classified as a serotonergic agonist and a vasoconstrictor agent. It has been detected in brain tissue.

Sumatriptan targets 13 proteins, including 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A (HTR1A), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1B (HTR1B), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1D (HTR1D), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1E (HTR1E), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1F (HTR1F), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (HTR2B), and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (HTR2C). Sumatriptan stimulates 5-HT receptors of the 1D subtype, most likely presynaptic receptors, resulting in selective vasoconstriction of inflamed and dilated cranial blood vessels in the carotid circulation. Additionally, it blocks the release of vasoactive neuropeptides from perivascular trigeminal axons in the dura mater during migraine and may inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators from the trigeminal nerve.

The compound is used in the treatment of migraines. It is recorded in 18 sources, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals &amp; veterinary products (analgesics and gynecologicals), household cleaning &amp; consumer products (such as soap detergents, perfumes within detergents and soaps, cigar cigarettes, non electric simulated smoking devices, and other smoking requisites), electrical &amp; electronic equipment (including antennas, conductors or conductive bodies characterised by the conductive materials, electric hearing aids, electric switches, and electrically stimulated smoking devices), building &amp; construction (floors), and food, food processing &amp; cookware (food preservation). Recorded exposure routes include oral, nasal, subcutaneous, topical, and transdermal.</description>

  <mechanism-of-toxicity>The 5-HT&lt;sub&gt;1B&lt;/sub&gt; and 5-HT&lt;sub&gt;1D&lt;/sub&gt; receptors function as autoreceptors, which inhibit the firing of serotonin neurons and a reduction in the synthesis and release of serotonin upon activation. After sumatriptan binds to these receptors, adenylate cyclase activity is inhibited via regulatory G proteins, incrases intracellular calcium, and affects other intracellular events. This results in vasoconstriction and inhibtion of sensory nociceptive (trigeminal) nerve firing and vasoactive neuropeptide release. Sumatriptan stimulates 5-HT receptors of the 1D subtype, most likely presynaptic receptors, resulting in selective vasoconstriction of inflamed and dilated cranial blood vessels in the carotid circulation. Sumatriptan also blocks the release of vasoactive neuropeptides from perivascular trigeminal axons in the dura mater during migraine and may inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators from the trigeminal nerve.</mechanism-of-toxicity>
  <metabolism>Hepatic. In vitro studies with human microsomes suggest that sumatriptan is metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO), predominantly the A isoenzyme.Route of Elimination: Only 3% of the dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged sumatriptan; 42% of the dose is excreted as the major metabolite, the indole acetic acid analogue of sumatriptan.Half Life: 2.5 hours</metabolism>
