Pharmacology
Atogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist; it blocks CGRP receptor signaling implicated in migraine pathophysiology and is indicated for preventive treatment of migraine in adults.
NSAID that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis in peripheral tissues; analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties are attributed to this decrease in prostaglandins, which sensitize afferent nerves and mediate inflammation.
