F. Sternfeld et al., THE CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF 2-[5-(1,2,4-TRIAZOL-4-YL)-1H-INDOL-3-YL]ETHYLAMINE (L-741,604) AND ANALOGS - POTENT AND SELECTIVE AGONISTS FOR 5-HT1D RECEPTORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(15), 1996, pp. 1825-1830
Optimisation of a series of 5-(heterocyclyl)tryptamines led to the ide
ntification of the symmetrically substituted, N-4 linked 1,2,4-triazol
e as the best indole C-5 substituent for 5-HT1D receptor affinity and
selectivity. The triazole (8) is the most potent and selective, orally
bioavailable, 5-HT1D receptor agonist identified to date, showing an
order of magnitude greater potency than the clinical compound sumatrip
tan with improved subtype selectivity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Sci
