Date May 22, 1997A class of substituted azetidine, pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives, linked by a fluoro-substituted alkylene chain to a fused bicyclic heteroaromatic moiety such as indolyl, are selective agonists of 5-HT1-like receptors, being potent agonists of the human 5-HT1D alpha receptor subtype while possessing at least a 10-fold selective affinity for the 5-HT1D alpha receptor subtype relative to the 5-HT1D beta 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, while eliciting fewer side-effects, notably adverse cardiovascular events, than those associated with non-subtype-selective 5-HT1D receptor agonists.
