Compounds of formula (I), or a salt or prodrug thereof, wherein Z represents an optionally substituted five-membered heteroaromatic ring selected from furan, thiophene, pyrrole, oxazole, thiazole, isoxazole, isothiazole, imidazole, pyrazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole, triazole and tetrazole; E represents a chemical bond or a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; Q represents a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, optionally substituted in any position by a hydroxy group; T represents nitrogen or CH; U represents nitrogen or C--R.sup.2 ; V represents oxygen, sulphur or N--R.sup.3 ; --F--G-- represents --CH2--N--, --CH2--CH-- or --CH.dbd.C--; R.sup.1 represents C.sub.3-6 alkenyl, C.sub.3-6 alkynyl, aryl(C.sub.1-6)alkyl or heteroaryl(C.sub.1-6)alkyl, any of which groups may be optionally substituted; and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently represent hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 alkyl are selective agonists of 5-HT1D receptors, being potent agonists of the human 5-HT1Dalpha receptor subtype, while possessing at least a 10-fold selective affinity for the 5-HT1Dalpha receptor subtype, relative to the 5-HT1Dbeta 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.
式(I)的化合物,或其盐或前药,其中Z代表从呋喃、噻吩、吡咯、噁唑、噻唑、异噁唑、异噻唑、咪唑、吡唑、噁二唑、噻二唑、三唑和四唑中选择的可选择性取代的五元杂芳环;E代表化学键或含有1至4个碳原子的直链或支链烷基链;Q代表含有1至6个碳原子的直链或支链烷基链,在任何位置可选择性地被羟基取代;T代表氮或CH;U代表氮或C--R.sup.2;V代表氧、硫或N--R.sup.3;--F--G--代表--CH2--N--,--CH2--CH--或--CH.dbd.C--;R.sup.1代表C.sub.3-6烯基、C.sub.3-6炔基、芳基(C.sub.1-6)烷基或杂芳基(C.sub.1-6)烷基,其中任何一个基团可选择性地被取代;而R.sup.2和R.sup.3独立地代表氢或C.sub.1-6烷基,是5-HT1D受体的选择性激动剂,是人类5-HT1Dα受体亚型的有效激动剂,同时相对于5-HT1Dbeta亚型,具有至少10倍的选择性亲和力;因此,在治疗和/或预防临床病症方面特别是偏头痛及相关疾病方面,对于需要5-HT1D受体亚型选择性激动剂的情况,比非亚型选择性5-HT1D受体激动剂引起的副作用更少,尤其是不良心血管事件。
