Azetidine, pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives

, (2008/06/13)
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.
