Almotriptan malate  (Synonyms: PNU180638)

Cat. No.: HY-B0383 Purity: 99.53%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Almotriptan malate (PNU180638) is an orally active, highly selective agonist of the 5-HT1B/1D receptor (5-HT1B/1D receptor), with EC50 values of 1.6 nM and 3.1 nM, respectively. Almotriptan malate shows moderate affinity for the 5-HT1F receptor, and weak affinity for the 5-HT1A, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors. Almotriptan malate induces intracranial vasoconstriction, inhibits nociceptive neurotransmission in the trigeminocervical complex, and suppresses the release of vasoactive peptides from trigeminal nerve endings. Almotriptan malate can be used in research related to migraine.

Almotriptan malate induces intracranial vasoconstriction, inhibits nociceptive neurotransmission in the trigeminocervical complex, and suppresses the release of vasoactive peptides from trigeminal nerve endings. Almotriptan malate can be used in research related to migraine[1][2].

IC50 & Target[2]

5-HT1B Receptor

1.6 nM (EC50)

5-HT1D Receptor

3.1 nM (EC50)

In Vitro

Almotriptan malate acts as a full agonist to induce potent concentration-dependent contractions in canine isolated saphenous veins, with an EC50 of 394 nM, via 5-HT1B/1D receptors[2].
Almotriptan malate induces vasoconstriction in human isolated meningeal, superficial temporal, and basilar arteries, with EC50 values of 0.7 μM (superficial temporal) and 3.7 μM (basilar), and greater potency than Sumatriptan (HY-B0121B) in meningeal arteries[2].
Almotriptan malate is metabolized by multiple human liver microsomal enzymes, including MAO-A, FMO, aldehyde dehydrogenase, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4, and only weakly inhibits CYP2D6 with no significant inhibition of MAO-A or MAO-B[2].

In Vivo

Almotriptan (0.01-3000 μg/kg; intravenous/intradermal administration; single dose) malate increases carotid vascular resistance in anesthetized cats, with efficacy and potency comparable to those of Sumatriptan; it elevates resistance by 100% at an intravenous dose of 9 μg/kg and exerts effects via the 5-HT1 receptor[2].
Almotriptan (0-1 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose; maximum 0.3 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose; 30 μg/min; intracoronary infusion; 1 h) malate increases carotid vascular resistance in beagle dogs, and exhibits better carotid-femoral artery selectivity than Sumatriptan. At the tested doses, this agent has favorable cardiovascular safety, with no cardiac inhibitory effect or QTc interval change[2].
Almotriptan (10 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single dose) malate inhibits trigeminal ganglion-induced meningeal vascular extravasation in anesthetized guinea pigs, and at a subcutaneous dose of 10 mg/kg, it causes no hypothermia or bronchospasm in conscious guinea pigs[2].
Almotriptan (oral administration; single dose) malate does not alter cardiovascular parameters or diuretic effects in normotensive Wistar rats at the tested oral doses[2].
Almotriptan (1-3 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single administration) malate exerts no cardiovascular effects at the dose of 1 mg/kg s.c. in conscious cynomolgus monkeys, while the 3 mg/kg s.c. dose only induces mild, transient effects without electrocardiogram changes[2].
Almotriptan (up to 300 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) malate shows no central nervous system-related behavioral or motor function effects in mice at oral doses up to 300 mg/kg[2].
Almotriptan malate slightly alleviates apomorphine (HY-12723)-induced vomiting responses in dogs[2].

Showed effective enteric absorption via i.d.
administration, increasing carotid vascular resistance with potency and efficacy equivalent to sumatriptan.
Acted mainly on carotid arteriovenous anastomoses, had a tendency to increase cerebral blood flow in absolute and relative terms, and did not decrease the component of brain blood flow supplied by the carotid artery.
Carotid vasoconstrictor effects were almost completely reversed by methiothepin, a 5-HT1 receptor antagonist.

Result: Increased carotid vascular resistance and showed greater selectivity for carotid versus femoral vascular beds compared to sumatriptan.
At 1 mg/kg i.v., produced a moderate increase in renal blood flow and a transient increase in diuresis and natriuresis, with no effect on glomerular filtration rate or filtration fraction.
At doses up to 0.3 mg/kg i.v.
in conscious dogs, had no effect on coronary blood flow or coronary vascular resistance, and produced no changes in evaluated ECG intervals.
Intracoronary infusion at 30 μg/min for 1 hour did not alter the QTc interval.
Did not induce a cardiodepressant effect (fall in heart rate and dP/dt_max) in open-chest anesthetized dogs, unlike sumatriptan.
Animal Model: Guinea pig (anesthetized, conscious)[2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: s.c.; single dose

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.32 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.32 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
