Pharmacology

Indication

Rizatriptan is indicated for the acute treatment of diagnosed migraine with or without aura.9,10,12,13 Rizatriptan is not indicated for the prophylactic therapy of migraine nor the treatment of cluster headache.9

In Canada, rizatriptan is approved in adults.12,13 In the US, the oral tablet formulations are used in patients six years of age and older 9 and the oral film formation is approved for patients 12 years of age and older weighing 40 kg or more.10

Pharmacodynamics

Rizatriptan relieves migraine-associated symptoms.1,5,9 Rizatriptan is reported to reach the maximum plasma concentrations more quickly and produces a more rapid onset of pain relief than other triptans, such as sumatriptan;2,3,5 however, it has a relatively shorter elimination half-life than other triptans.5 Rizatriptan causes transient increases in blood pressure to some extent.1 In vitro, rizatriptan was shown to contract isolated human coronary arteries; however, since the EC50 for this effect is high, rizatriptan is not expected to cause myocardial ischemia at therapeutic plasma concentrations in patients with normal coronary circulation.3

Rizatriptan has a weak affinity for other 5-HT1 receptor subtypes (5-HT1A, 5-HT1E, 5-HT1F) and the 5-HT7 receptor but has no significant activity at 5-HT2, 5-HT3, alpha- and beta-adrenergic, dopaminergic, histaminergic, muscarinic or benzodiazepine receptors.12

Mechanism of action

There are several physiological and molecular processes implicated in the pathophysiology of migraine. Vasodilation of intracranial extracerebral blood vessels, particularly those supplying the dura mater, has been associated with migraine pain.1,5 Activation of the trigeminovascular system leads to the release of vasoactive neuropeptides (such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and neurokinin A) from the trigeminal nerve innervating the intracranial vessels and dura mater. Vasoactive neuropeptides cause perivascular inflammation and vasodilation in the periphery. Migraine-associated nausea and vomiting are thought to arise from the activation of central and nociceptive sensory neurons that project to autonomic brain-stem nuclei and higher subcortical and cortical pain processing centres.1 An imbalance in serotonin (5-HT) levels has also been documented: 5-HT binds to 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors to promote trigeminal neuronal firing and vasoconstriction.1,8

Rizatriptan is a selective agonist at the 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system. It binds to these receptors with high affinity.9 The exact mechanism of action of rizatriptan has not been fully elucidated; however, several documented pharmacological actions of rizatriptan may contribute to its antimigraine effects. Rizatriptan causes vasoconstriction of intracranial extracerebral blood vessels, which is thought to occur primarily via 5-HT1B receptors. Rizatriptan also inhibits nociceptive neurotransmission in trigeminal pain pathways. It attenuates the release of vasoactive neuropeptides by the trigeminal nerve, which is thought to occur via neurogenic and central 5-HT1D receptors.1,3,5 Rizatriptan inhibited neurogenic dural vasodilation and plasma protein extravasation in animal studies.1,7,3,5

Absorption

Rizatriptan is readily absorbed (approximately 90%) following oral administration;1 however, the mean oral absolute bioavailability of the rizatriptan tablet is about 45%, owing to extensive first-pass metabolism. The Tmax is approximately one to 1.5 hours. The presence of a migraine headache did not appear to affect the absorption or pharmacokinetics of rizatriptan. Food has no significant effect on the bioavailability of rizatriptan but delays the time to reach peak concentration by an hour. In clinical trials, rizatriptan was administered without regard to food.9

The bioavailability and Cmax of rizatriptan were similar following the administration of rizatriptan tablets and rizatriptan orally disintegrating tablets. Still, the absorption rate is somewhat slower with orally disintegrating tablets, with Tmax delayed by up to 0.7 hours. The AUC of rizatriptan is approximately 30% higher in females than males. No accumulation occurred on multiple dosing.9

Volume of distribution

The mean volume of distribution is approximately 140 L in male subjects and 110 L in female subjects.9

Protein binding

Rizatriptan is minimally bound (14%) to plasma proteins.9

Metabolism

Rizatriptan primarily undergoes oxidative deamination mediated by monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) to form triazolomethyl-indole-3-acetic acid, which is not pharmacologically active. N-monodesmethyl-rizatriptan is a minor metabolite with a pharmacological activity comparable to the parent compound's. Plasma concentrations of N-monodesmethyl-rizatriptan are approximately 14% of those of the parent compound, which is eliminated at a similar rate. Other pharmacologically inactive minor metabolites include the N-oxide, the 6-hydroxy compound, and the sulfate conjugate of the 6-hydroxy metabolite.1,6,9

Route of elimination

Following oral administration of a single 10 mg of 14C-rizatriptan, the total radioactivity of the administered dose recovered over 120 hours in urine and feces was 82% and 12%, respectively. Following oral administration of 14C-rizatriptan, rizatriptan accounted for about 17% of circulating plasma radioactivity. Approximately 14% of an oral dose is excreted in urine as unchanged rizatriptan, while 51% is excreted as indole acetic acid metabolite, indicating substantial first-pass metabolism.9

Half-life

The plasma half-life of rizatriptan in males and females ranges from two to three hours.9

Clearance

An early study involving healthy subject reported plasma clearance of 1042 mL/min in males and 821 mL/min in females; however, this difference in clearance rates is not thought to be clinically relevant.3,4

Toxicity

The acute oral toxicity (LD50) was 2,227 mg/kg in rats and 700-1,631 mg/kg in mice.11

No overdoses of rizatriptan were reported in clinical trials. Some adult patients who received 40 mg of rizatriptan either a single dose or as two doses with a two-hour interdose interval had dizziness and somnolence. Syncope, dizziness, bradycardia including third degree AV block, vomiting, and/or incontinence were experienced by two adults who received a total cumulative doses of 80 mg (given within four hours) in a clinical pharmacology study. Some adolescent patients (aged 12 to 17 years old) receiving two 10-mg doses of orally disintegrating tablets of rizatriptan experienced abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and dyspnea.9

Based on the pharmacological properties of rizatriptan, hypertension and myocardial ischemia are possible after overdosage. Gastrointestinal decontamination, (i.e., gastric lavage followed by activated charcoal) should be considered in patients suspected of an overdose with rizatriptan. Clinical and electrocardiographic monitoring should be continued for at least 12 hours, even if clinical symptoms are not observed. The effects of hemo- or peritoneal dialysis on serum concentrations of rizatriptan are unknown.9
