title: Conformationally restricted sumatriptan analogues, CP-122,288 and CP-122,638 exhibit enhanced potency against neurogenic inflammation in dura mater.
abstract: CP-122,288 and CP-122,638 blocked plasma protein extravasation response within dura mater following trigeminal ganglion stimulation. The threshold (1 and 0.1 pmol/kg, respectively) was remarkably lower than for sumatriptan (7 nmol/kg), as was the dose at maximum response. As with sumatriptan, substance P-induced plasma leakage was unaffected by either compound, and metergoline only partially (27%) reversed the effects of CP-122,288. The data suggest the importance of modifications at the aminoethyl side chain to the actions of sumatriptan and possibly to the treatment of migraine headache.
