Active ingredient

Atogepant

Atogepant is indicated for prophylaxis of migraine. Atogepant shows affinity to several receptors of the calcitonin/CGRP-receptor family. In view of the clinically relevant free plasma concentrations of atogepant and the fact that CGRP and amylin-1 receptors are considered to be involved in the pathophysiology of migraine, inhibitory effects of atogepant at these receptors could be of clinical relevance. However, the precise mechanism of action of atogepant in the prophylaxis of migraine remains to be established.
