Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is one of the most patent endogenous vasodilators known. This peptide is increased during migraine attacks and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine headache. Here we report on the first small molecule selective CGRP antagonist: BIBN4096BS. In vitro, this compound is extremely potent at primate CGRP receptors exhibiting an affinity (K-i) for human CGRP receptors of 14.1 +/- 6.3 (n = 4) phl. In an in vitro model, BIBN4096BS in doses between 1 and 30 mu g kg(-1) (i.v.) inhibited the effects of CGRP, released by stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion, on facial blood flow in marmoset monkeys. It is concluded that BIBN4096BS is a potent and selective CGRP antagonist.
