| Questions and Answers (Q&A) | Back Directory | [Description]
Zolmitriptan is a selective serotonin receptor agonist of the 1B and 1D subtypes. It is mainly used in the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura and cluster headaches. Zolmitriptan takes effect through binding to human 5-HT1Band 5-HT1Dreceptors, leading to cranial blood vessel constriction and the release of sensory neuropeptides through nerve endings in the trigeminal system.

ChEBI: Zolmitriptan is a member of the class of tryptamines that is N,N-dimethyltryptamine in which the hydrogen at position 5 of the indole ring has been replaced by a [(4S)-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-4-yl]methyl group. A serotonin 5-HT1 B and D receptor agonist, it is used for the treatment of migraine. It has a role as a serotonergic agonist, a vasoconstrictor agent and an anti-inflammatory drug. It is a member of tryptamines and an oxazolidinone. It is functionally related to a N,N-dimethyltryptamine. | [Manufacturing Process]
(S)-4-(4-[N'-(2-Oxotetrahydropyran-3-iliden)hidrazino]benzyl}-1,3-oxazolidin-
2-one
A solution of 2.8 g (40.6 mmoles) of sodium nitrite in 12 ml of water was
added slowly to a solution of 9.1 g (39.8 mmoles) of (S)-4-(4-aminobenzyl)-
1,3-oxazolidyne-2-one hydrochloride in 17 ml of water and 29 ml of
concentrated HCl, keeping the reaction temperature below 0°C. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 15 minutes. Once that time had elapsed
the diazonium salt solution was added rapidly to a suspension of 30 g (239
mmoles) of sodium sulphite in 106 ml of water precooled to 0°C under
nitrogen atmosphere. The red solution was stirred at 0°C for 10 minutes and
then left to reach 65°C in 1 hour. It was stirred at 65°C for 30 minutes, and
18.2 ml of concentrated HCl then added. The mixture was stirred at the same
temperature under nitrogen atmosphere for 3 hours and then left to cool to
room temperature. To this solution was added a solution of 35 mmoles of α-
keto-γ-valerolactone (prepared by decarboxylation of 11.8 g (63.7 mmoles) of
a ethoxyalyl-γ-butyrolactone in 15.2 ml of 2 N H 2 SO 4 at reflux) and left under
stirring at room temperature for 12 hours. When that time had elapsed the
mixture was cooled to 0°C and stirred for one hour. The precipitate formed
was filtered, washed with cold water and dried in an hotair oven at 40°C,
giving a white solid which was crystallised from ethanol/water to give 10.5 g
(87%) of the title hydrazone as a white solid. Melting point 223.3°-224.7°C.

saturated solution of hydrogen chloride in acetic acid. The mixture was stirred
at room temperature for 16 h, 10 ml of water/ice was added to the reaction
mixture and stirred at 0°C for 20 min. The precipitate was filtered, washed
with cold water and dried in hot-air oven at 40°C. The residue was crystallised
with methanol to yield 3.3 g (92%) of the title indole as a yellow crystalline
solid. Melting point 215°-217°C.

were added 0.12 ml (1.9 mmoles) of methanesulfonic acid. The mixture was
left under stirring at the reflux temperature for 3 hours. The solvent was
evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, the residue dissolved with 10
ml of a saturated bicarbonate solution and extracted three times with
dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried and evaporated to
dryness and the evaporated solid recrystallised from ethanol to give 517 mg
(93%) of the title ester as a yellow crystalline solid. Melting point 178°-

reduced pressure, 50 ml of a saturated solution of potassium carbonate
added, and then extracted three times with 50 ml of dichloromethane. The
combined organic phases were dried on anhydrous sodium sulphate and recrystallised from methanol to give a yellow crystalline solid. Melting point

Serotoninergic | [General Description]
Zolmitriptan, the second triptan marketed (approved in1997), has a much better bioavailability (40%–48%) thansumatriptan. It is rapidly absorbed after oral or nasal sprayadministration. It also has an orally disintegrating tablet formulation(Zomig ZMT), which can be taken without water.Zolmitriptan undergoes rapid N-demethylation via CYP1A2to a more potent, active metabolite, N-desmethylzolmitriptan,which is 2 to 6 times more potent than the parentdrug. This active metabolite was detected 5 minutesafter dosing and accounts for about two thirds of the plasmaconcentration of the administered dose of the parent drug.284Thus, it is reasonable to assume that the therapeutic effectsand especially the CNS side effects of zolmitriptan must bein part attributed to the plasma levels of this active metabolite,at least until it is further degraded by hepatic MAO-Ato its inactive indole acetic acid derivatives. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Zolmitriptan is a selective serotonin receptor agonist of the 5HT1B and 5HT1D subtypes, both centrally and peripherally. It has been used clinically for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura and cluster headaches. | [Clinical Use]
Zomig was launched in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the UK for use as
an antimigraine agent (with and without aura). It can be prepared by three related
routes of 5 to 7 steps starting from L-4-nitrophenylalanine. Zomig is a 5-HT1D/1B receptor agonist (10 fold ratio) with modest (< 100x) affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT1F receptors. It has no affinity for other serotonin receptors or receptors of other
neurotransmitters. It has a novel dual action mechanism: centrally it acts on the
trigeminal nucleus caudalis and peripherally is acts on the trigeminovascular system.
Zomig was effective in treating headaches and nonheadache (photophobia,
phonophobia and nausea) symptoms. It was 2-3 times more potent than sumatriptan
and is metabolized to three compounds, one of which is 2-8 times more active than the
parent. It caused a 40-50% decrease in headache after 1 h and a 73-77% after 4 h.
There was a 30% reoccurance of headache but 90% effective treatment with a second
dose. It blocks neurogenic inflammation by inhibiting release of peptides, causes
vasoconstriction, and inhibits neuronal depolarization at peripheral sites in the
cranium. It is 40% bioavailable and a 10 time theraputic dose showed no safety
concerns. | [Drug interactions]
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Antibacterials: quinolones possibly inhibit
metabolism - reduce dose of zolmitriptan.
Antidepressants: increased risk of CNS toxicity
with citalopram - avoid; risk of CNS toxicity
with MAOIs and moclobemide - reduce dose
of zolmitriptan to max 7.5 mg; SSRIs inhibit
metabolism of zolmitriptan, reduce dose with
fluvoxamine; possibly increased serotonergic
effects with duloxetine and venlafaxine; increased
serotonergic effects with St John’s wort - avoid
concomitant use.
Cimetidine: inhibits metabolism of zolmitriptan;
maximum dose is 5 mg.
Dapoxetine: possible increased risk of serotonergic
effects - avoid for 2 weeks after stopping 5HT1
agonists.
Ergot alkaloids: increased risk of vasospasm.
Linezolid: risk of CNS toxicity - reduce dose of
zolmitriptan. | [Metabolism]
Zolmitriptan is eliminated largely by hepatic biotransformation followed by urinary excretion of the metabolites. There are three major metabolites: the indole acetic acid, (the major metabolite in plasma and urine), the N-oxide and N-desmethyl analogues. Only the N-desmethylated metabolite is active. The primary metabolism of zolmitriptan is mediated mainly by the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP1A2 while monoamine oxidase type A is responsible for further metabolism of the N-desmethyl metabolite. Over 60
% of a dose is excreted in the urine, mainly as the indole acetic acid, and about 30
% appears in the faeces, mainly as unchanged drug. | [storage]
