The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of 3- [2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]-indoles with excellent selectivity for h5-HT(1D) (formerly 5-HT(1Dα)) receptors over h5-HT(1B) (formerly 5-HT(1Dβ)) receptors are described. Clinically effective antimigraine drugs such as Sumatriptan show little selectivity between h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors. The differential expression of h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors in neural and vascular tissue prompted an investigation of whether a compound selective for the h5-HT(1D) subtype would have the same clinical efficacy but with reduced side effects. The pyrrolidine 3b was initially identified as having 9-fold selectivity for h5-HT(1D) over h5-HT(1B) receptors. Substitution of the pyrrolidine ring of 3b with methylbenzylamine groups gave compounds with nanomolar affinity for the h5-HT(1D) receptor and 100-fold selectivity with respect to h5-HT(1B) receptors. Modification of the indole 5-substituent led to the oxazolidinones 24a,b with up to 163-fold selectivity for the h5-HT(1D) subtype and improved selectivity over other serotonin receptors. The compounds were shown to be full agonists by measurement of agonist-induced [35S]GTPγS binding in CHO cells expressed with h5-HT receptors. This study suggests that the h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors can be differentiated by appropriate substitution of the ligand in the region which binds to the aspartate residue and reveals a large binding pocket in the h5-HT(1D) receptor domain which is absent for the h5-HT(1B) receptor. The compounds described herein will be important tools to delineate the role of h5-HT(1D) receptors in migraine.

Compounds of formula (I), or a salt or prodrug thereof, wherein Z represents an optionally substituted five-membered heteroaromatic ring selected from furan, thiophene, pyrrole, oxazole, thiazole, isoxazole, isothiazole, imidazole, pyrazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole, triazole, and tetrazole; E represents a chemical bond or a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1-4 carbon atoms; Q represents a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1-6 carbon atoms; T represents nitrogen or CH; R1 represents aryl(C1-6)alkyl or heteroaryl(C1-6)alkyl, either of which groups may be optionally substituted; and R2 represents hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl are selective agonists of 5-HT1 -like receptors, being potent agonists of the human 5-HT1Dα receptor subtype whilst possessing at least a 10-fold selective affinity for the 5-HT1Dα receptor subtype relative to the 5-HT1Dβ subtype; they are therefore useful in the treatment and/or prevention of clinical conditions, in particular migraine and associated disorders, for which a subtype-selective agonist of 5-HT1D receptors is indicated, whilst eliciting fewer side-effects, notably adverse cardiovascular events, than those associated with non-subtype-selective 5-HT1D receptor agonists.

A class of substituted azetidine, pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives are selective agonists of 5-HT1 -like receptors, being potent agonists of the human 5-HT1Dα receptor subtype whilst possessing at least a 10-fold selective affinity for the 5-HT1Dα receptor subtype relative to the 5-HT1Dβ subtype; they are therefore useful in the treatment and/or prevention of clinical conditions, in particular migraine and associated disorders, for which a subtype-selective agonist of 5-HT1D receptors is indicated, whilst eliciting fewer side-effects, notably adverse cardiovascular events, than those associated with non-subtype-selective 5-HT1D receptor agonists.
