Synthesis and evaluation of a series of 2,3,5- and 3,5-substituted furo[3,2-b]pyridines were undertaken in order to investigate their utility as bioisosteres of 5-HTIF receptor agonist indole analogues, 1-3. The replacement proved to be effective, providing compounds with similar 5-HTIF receptor affinity and improved selectivity when compared with the indole analogues. Through these studies we identified 4-fluoro-N-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-furo[3,2-b]pyridin-5-yl]-benzamide (5), a potent and selective 5-HTIF receptor agonist with the potential to treat acute migraine.
