Abstract
Migraine, which afflicts 12%–15% of the general population, is acknowledged as the first neurological condition which can be treated successfulIy by administering relatively selective drugs targeted to specific 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor subtypes. The receptor subtypes involved in the effects of antimigraine drugs might include 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, and possibly 5-HT1F, as sumatriptan binds to each with high affinity. However, there is still no universal agreement as to sumatriptan’s specific mechanism of action in migraine. Some propose the importance of vascular smooth muscle constriction whereas others suggest that sumatriptan binding to neuronal receptors on trigeminovascular fibers is important for its headache-relieving action. We believe that the significance of each mechanism will become clearer as more selective 5-HT ligands are developed and applied to the human condition. Major discoveries at the preclinical level have already advanced and await testing in humans.
Note concerning the nomenclature of 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D, receptors: Receptors previously known as 5-HT1Dα, and 5-HT1Dβhave been named 5-HT1D and 5-HT1B throughout this chapter (as recommended by HARTIG et al. 1996). The prefixes h, gp, r and m are used to specify the species (human, guinea pig, rat and mouse, respectively). “5-HT1B” (with no prefix) denotes a species-specific pharmacology (high affinity for β-blockers and CP-93.129).
