A series of halo-1-H-indazoles has been synthesized and evaluated for its inhibitory activity on neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Introduction of bromine at the C4 position of the indazole ring system provided a compound almost as potent as the reference compound, that is, 7-nitroindazole (7-NI). The importance of position 4 is further demonstrated by the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of the 4-nitroindazole which was also a potent inhibitor of NOS activity. These compounds also exhibited in vivo NOS inhibitory activity, as attested by potent antinociceptive effects following systemic administration.
