How is Reyvow® (lasmiditan) metabolized and eliminated?
Reyvow (lasmiditan) undergoes hepatic and extrahepatic metabolism primarily by non-cytochrome P450 enzymes. Recovery of unchanged lasmiditan in urine was low and accounted for approximately 3% of the dose.
Pharmacokinetic Properties
Metabolism
Lasmiditan undergoes hepatic and extrahepatic metabolism primarily by non-cytochrome P450 enzymes.1
The following enzymes are not involved in metabolism of lasmiditan, including
- monoamine oxidase-A
- monoamine oxidase-B
- flavin monooxygenase 3
- cytochrome P450 reductase
- xanthine oxidase
- alcohol dehydrogenase
- aldehyde dehydrogenase, and
- aldo-keto reductases.1
Major metabolites of lasmiditan identified in plasma and urine are
- S-M8, through ketone reduction to alcohol (major pathway)
- M7, through oxidation on piperidine ring, and
- M18, through a combination of M7 and M8 pathways.1
Relative to lasmiditan, these metabolites are considered pharmacologically inactive.1
Excretion
Lasmiditan is primarily eliminated via metabolism.1
Renal excretion is a minor route of lasmiditan clearance with approximately 3% of the dose recovered as unchanged lasmiditan in urine. Metabolite S-M8 represented approximately 66% of the dose in urine, with the majority of recovery within 48 hours post dose.1
