Compounds that selectively bind 5-HT1A receptors in preference to other 5-HT receptors are provided along with methods for their use. Such compounds have the formula
wherein A is an aromatic group selected to provide, with the glycidyl residue that forms the next portion of the molecule, a 5-HT-like portion of the molecule that represents the primary binding site of the molecule with a 5-HT receptor; X represents a quarternary carbon and its attached alkyl groups; Y represents a hydrocarbon linking group; Z represents hydrogen or an organic group containing up to 12 carbon and/or heteroatoms in its skeletal structure; and R¹ and R² independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group. The aromatic group is most preferably indole or an indole derivative.
