| Abstract | Sumatriptan is indicated for the treatment of migraine attack and cluster headache; it is currently marketed as a subcutaneous injection, nasal spray, and oral tablet. New formulations are under consideration. The knowledge of sumatriptan absorption, combined with PK/PD information would help the design of more efficient formulations. In this perspective, we attempted to model the absorption of sumatriptan by population PK analysis. Data following administration by the intravenous (iv), the subcutaneous (sc), and the oral (po) route in healthy subjects were analyzed. A large database with full kinetic profiles was constituted. Sumatriptan was administered to 215 healthy subjects (iv, sc, and po) and to 143 migraine sufferers (po). The mean age was 31 years (18–86 years) in healthy subject population and was 38 years (18–65 years) in migraine patients. The mean weights were 74kg (54–104 kg) and 66 kg (38–136 kg) in healthy subjects and migraine patients, respectively, and the mean heights were 176cm (157–193 cm) and 164cm (152–183 cm) in healthy subjects and migraine patients, respectively. A NONMEM analysis was performed using a two-compartment disposition model. Oral absorption was modeled with a first-order input followed by a zero-order input. Less biased results were obtained using the FOCE method. The total clearance and the distribution volume at steady state were 71.2 L/hr and 94.5 L after iv dosing and 68.7 L/hr and 109 L after inclusion of the sc and po data. The absorption phase appeared to last for about 5 hr. The interindividual variability of the main PK parameters was low: It was around 20% for the total clearance and around 30% for the distribution volume at steady state. Although significant, the combination of age and height on clearance did not decrease considerably the interindividual variability of this parameter (decrease of 2.2%); nor was it possible to establish clearly if a migraine attack has an effect on drug absorption because of the sampling scheme during absorption. Simulations have shown that it would have been possible to estimate all the PK parameters with a data set reduced to one quarter of its actual number of samples. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
