Abstract

Zolmitriptan (ZOL), a member of triptans, has been used for the treatment of migraine with definite therapeutic effects. However, several cases of liver injury associated with ZOL have been reported and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.The present study aimed to investigate the metabolic activation of ZOL
