Lasmiditan CAS 439239-90-4
Selective 5-HT1F Agonist (Acute Migraine)
Lasmiditan (CAS 439239-90-4), formerly LY-573144, is a highly selective agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1F receptor used for acute migraine. Unlike triptans (5-HT1B/1D), it lacks vasoconstrictor activity, providing antimigraine efficacy through trigeminovascular nociceptive inhibition without coronary vasoconstriction. Formula C19H18F3N3O2, MW 377.4. Research-grade with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes
Lasmiditan engages the molecular machinery and pathway nodes that define its research utility.
How Lasmiditan Works: Quieting the Migraine Circuit
Lasmiditan selectively activates 5-HT1F, inhibiting CGRP release without vasoconstriction
Selective 5-HT1F Receptor Activation
Lasmiditan binds the serotonin 5-HT1F receptor with high selectivity, engaging trigeminovascular neurons involved in migraine pathogenesis.
Inhibition of CGRP Release & Nociception
Activation suppresses calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release and trigeminal nociceptive signaling, dampening the pain-generating cascade.
Antimigraine Relief Without Vasoconstriction
Because it spares 5-HT1B/1D-mediated vascular contraction, lasmiditan provides migraine relief without the coronary vasoconstrictor liability of triptans.
