Triptan drugs act on migraine by binding themselves with serotonin receptors. Serotonin receptor (5-HT1B) when bound with a triptan, it leads to vasoconstriction of cranial arteries. These arteries dilate when a migraine episode occurs. The binding of serotonin receptor (5-HT1B) with triptan leads to reducevasoactive neuropeptides release by preventing the activation of trigeminal nerves. This in turn blocks the flow of pain signals to the brain. As per the World Health Organization, the prevalence rate of migraine episodes is 10% globally. Around the world, in a proportion of one million people, 3000 migraine attacks occur every day.
