sumatriptan and Alcoholism

sumatriptan has been researched along with Alcoholism in 3 studies

Sumatriptan: A serotonin agonist that acts selectively at 5HT1 receptors. It is used in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS.
sumatriptan : A sulfonamide that consists of N,N-dimethyltryptamine bearing an additional (N-methylsulfamoyl)methyl substituent at position 5. Selective agonist for a vascular 5-HT1 receptor subtype (probably a member of the 5-HT1D family). Used (in the form of its succinate salt) for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.

Alcoholism: A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To assess the possible influence of alcoholism on serotonergic control of growth hormone (GH) secretion, 6 mg of the 5-HT1D serotonergic receptor agonist, sumatriptan, was injected subcutaneously in a group of nine normal controls (aged 32 to 49 years) and in nine age-matched nondepressed male alcoholic subjects after 10 to 25 days of abstinence from alcohol."7.69Alcoholism abolishes the growth hormone response to sumatriptan administration in man. ( Coiro, V; Vescovi, PP, 1995)
"The general lack of efficacy of sumatriptan in producing alcohol-like symptoms or a desire to drink alcohol may suggest that the 5HT1D receptor plays little role in the pathophysiology of alcoholism."3.73Pharmacological challenge with a serotonin 1D agonist in alcohol dependence. ( Hugo, CJ; Maritz, JS; Pienaar, W; Stein, DJ; Vythilingum, B, 2005)
