Sumatriptan Metabolism Revisited: CYP and MAO
2026-09-11
This study revisits the established view that sumatriptan is metabolized mainly through monoamine oxidase A, showing that selected cytochrome P450 enzymes also produce sequential N-demethylated metabolites. Its recombinant-enzyme and HPLC–MS design provides a useful framework for distinguishing parallel metabolic routes and interpreting drug-interaction data.
