Chemical compound and disease context of Frovatriptan

  • METHODS: The tolerability and safety of frovatriptan 2.5 mg were assessed during controlled, acute migraine treatment studies, including a study that compared frovatriptan 2.5 mg with sumatriptan 100 mg, as well as a 12-month open-label study during which patients could take up to three doses of frovatriptan 2.5 mg within a 24-hour period [8].
  • Naratriptan and frovatriptan, with their slow onset, high tolerability, and long half-lives, may have a role in aborting prolonged migraine attacks and in headache prevention [9].
  • Frovatriptan may be particularly well suited to patients with migraine of long duration, those prone to recurrence and those troubled by "triptan-type" side effects [10].

Gene context of Frovatriptan

  • Frovatriptan is principally metabolized by the CYP1A2 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450 and is cleared by the kidney and liver, each having sufficient capacity to compensate for impairment of the other [11].
  • RESULTS: In vitro, frovatriptan was principally metabolized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A2 but was found not to be an inhibitor or inducer of this or other CYP isoenzymes [15].
  • Vanguard (now Vernalis) has developed frovatriptan, a selective 5-HT1B/1D partial agonist licensed from GlaxoSmithKline as a potential treatment for migraine [188478], [194382], [377863] [18].
