Eletriptan (eletriptan hydrobromide, trade name Relpax) is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1B/1D) serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Eletriptan binds with high affinity to 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D and 5-HT1F receptors, and has modest affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1E, 5-HT2B and 5-HT7 receptors. The therapeutic activity of eletriptan for the treatment of migraine headache is thought to be due to the agonist effects at the 5-HT1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels (including the arterio-venous anastomoses) and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release. Eletriptan (Relpax) has been approved for use in the acute treatment of migraine in 51 countries and has been introduced in 17 countries including Mexico, Italy, France and Japan.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The maximum recommended single dose of Relpax (eletriptan hydrobromide) is 40 mg. If after the initial dose, headache improves but then returns, a repeat dose may be beneficial. If a second dose is required, it should be taken at least 2 hours after the initial dose. If the initial dose is ineffective, controlled clinical trials have not shown a benefit of a second dose to treat the same attack. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 80 mg.

In Vitro Use Guide

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor mediation of the contraction in guinea-pig iliac arteries moderately precontracted by prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) was characterized in vitro using eletriptan. Eletriptan contracted guinea-pig iliac arteries and the concentration-response curve for eletriptan was biphasic (first phase: 0.01-3 uM, pD2 approximately 6.6; second phase: greater or equal 10 uM).
