Reproductive & developmental
Rabbit EFD: malformations, embryofetal mortality and reduced fetal weight at a maternally toxic dose
“Oral administration of lasmiditan (0, 50, 75, or 115 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in malformations (skeletal and visceral), increases in skeletal variations and embryofetal mortality, and decreased fetal body weight were observed at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity.”

Safety pharmacology
hERG IC50 ~3.0 µM (>4-fold human Cmax); ECG, respiratory and vasoactivity assessments negative
“In hERG assays, IC50s for lasmiditan (~3.0 µM) and metabolites M8 and M18 (>30 µM) exceeded 4-fold the plasma Cmax in humans following oral administration of 200 mg. ECG, respiratory, and vasoactivity assessments were negative.”

Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
