A series of novel indazole derivatives were synthesized, and their structure-activity relationships examined in order to identify potent and selective 5-HT2C receptor agonists. Among these compounds, (S)-2-(7-ethyl-1H-furo[2,3-g]indazol-1-yl)-1-methylethylamine (YM348) had a good in vitro profile, that is, high agonistic activity to the human 5-HT2C receptor subtype (EC50 = 1.0 nM) and high selectivity over 5-HT2A receptors. This compound was also effective in a rat penile erection model when administered po.
