Described herein are tryptamine analogs that display high binding affinity and selectivity for the 5-HT1D beta receptor, of formula (I), wherein R<1> represents a chain selected from C8-11alkyl, C7-10alkoxy, C8-11alkanoyl and C7-10alkanoyloxy wherein said chain is optionally substituted by hydroxyl, C1-4alkyl or C1-4alkoxy and wherein one of the intervening carbons of said chain is optionally replaced with a heteroatom selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur; R<2> and R<3> each independently represent H or C1-3alkyl; and R<4> represents H, C1-4alkyl, aryl or arylC1-4alkyl. The compounds are useful as reagents for receptor identification and in receptor-based drug screening programs, and can also be used therapeutically to treat conditions for which administration of a 5-HT1D ligand is indicated, for example in the treatment of migraine. |
