The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of methoxyindazoles as new inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase are presented. The 7-methoxyindazole, although less potent than 7-NI, is the most active compound of the series in Lin in vitro enzymatic assay of neuronal nitric oxide synthase activity. This result shows that the nitro-substitution is not indispensable to the biological activity of the indazole ring. 7-Methoxyindazole possesses in vivo NOS inhibitory as well and related antinociceptive properties, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
