Abstract

A series of 1,6-disubstituted indole derivatives was designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of human nitric oxide synthase (NOS). By varying the basic amine side chain at the 1-position of the indole ring, several potent and selective inhibitors of human neuronal NOS were identified. In general compounds with bulkier side chains displayed increased selectivity for nNOS over eNOS and iNOS isoforms. One of the compounds, (R)-8 was shown to reduce tactile hyperesthesia (allodynia) after oral administration (30 mg/kg) in an in vivo rat model of dural inflammation relevant to migraine pain.
