Avitriptan (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; development code BMS-180048) is an antimigraine drug of the triptan family which was never marketed.[1] It acts as a serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptor agonist.[1][2] The drug reached phase 3 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development.[3]

Avitriptan acts as a selective serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptor agonist.[1][2] It is also notable in being a weak serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist (EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 123 nM), albeit with about two orders of magnitude lower activational potency than at the serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors.[2]

Besides its activities at serotonin receptors, avitriptan has been found to act as a weak aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist.[5]

Chemistry

[edit | edit source]

Avitriptan is a triptan and a modified analogue of tryptamines like the psychedelic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT).[6] However, avitriptan itself is not technically a tryptamine as it features a propylamine side chain instead of the ethylamine side chain present in tryptamines.[6] Besides this difference, avitriptan is substituted at the 5 position of the indole ring system and the amine moiety has been cyclized and extended.[6]

The predicted log P of avitriptan is 1.8.[6]
