Date Jul. 7, 1994A compound of structure (I), in which A1 is O, S(O)n in which n is 0, 1 or 2, NR, CH2, or CH(OH); A2 is a bond or CH2; or A1A2 is CH=CH; R is hydrogen or C1-4alkyl; R1 is an optionally substituted 6- to 10-membered aryl or heteroaryl ring; suitably R1 is an optionally substituted 6- 10-membered aryl ring such as phenyl or naphthyl; suitably R1 is optionally substituted 6- to 10-membered heteroaryl ring, containing from 1 to 4 nitrogen atoms; R2 is hydrogen, halogen, C1-4alkyl, CN, NO2 or CF3; R3 is C(R4)(R5)CH2NR6R7, -CH=NNHC(NH)NH2 or a; R4 and R5 are independently hydrogen or C1-4alkyl; R6 and R7 are the same or different and are each hydrogen or C1-4alkyl or together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a ring; R8 is hydrogen, C1-4alkyl, or C3-6alkenyl; the dotted lines represent an optional bond; and q and m are independently 1 or 2; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. The compounds are 5-HT1-like agonists (or partial agonists) and as such are expected to have utility in medicine in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of migraine, and other conditions associated with cephalic pain, such as cluster headache, headache associated with vascular disorders and other neuralgia.
