Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, wherein X is C(R3c)? or N?; R1 is C2-C6 alkyl, substituted C2-C6 alkyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, heterocycle, or substituted heterocycle; R2 is hydrogen, C1-C3 n-alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl-C1-C3 alkyl, or a group of formula II provided that when R1 is C2-C6 alkyl or substituted C2-C6 alkyl, R2 is hydrogen or methyl; R3a, R3b and, when X is —C(R3c)?, R3c, are each independently hydrogen, fluoro, or methyl, provided that no more than one of R3a, R3b, and R3c may be other than hydrogen; R4 is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; R5 is hydrogen, C1-C3 alkyl, or C3-C6 cycloalkylcarbonyl, provided that when R3a is other than hydrogen, R5 is hydrogen; R6 is hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl; and n is an integer from 1 to 6 inclusively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I: (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, where; X is C(R3c? or N?; R1 is C2-C6 alkyl, substituted C2-C6 alkyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, heterocycle, or substituted heterocycle; R2 is hydrogen, C1-C3 n-alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl-C1-C3 alkyl, or a group of formula II (II) provided that when R1 is C2-C6 alkyl or substituted C2-C6 alkyl, R2 is hydrogen or methyl; R3a, R3b, and, when X is C(R3c)?, R3c, are each independently hydrogen, fluoro, or methyl, provided that no more than one of R3a, R3b, and R3c may be other than hydrogen; R4 is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; R5 is hydrogen, C1-C3 alkyl, or C3-C6 cycloalkylcarbonyl, provided that when R3a is other than hydrogen, R5 is hydrogen; R6 is hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl; and n is an integer from 1 to 6 inclusively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I: or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, where; R1 is C1-C6 alkyl, substituted C1-C6 alkyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl-C1-C3 alkyl, substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl-C1-C3 alkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, heterocycle, or substituted heterocycle; R2 is hydrogen, C1-C3 alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl-C1-C3 alkyl, or a group of formula II R3 is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; R4 is hydrogen, halo, or C1-C3 alkyl; R5 is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; R6 is hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl; and n is an integer from 1 to 6 inclusively. The compounds of the present invention are useful for activating 5-HT1F receptors, inhibiting neuronal protein extravasation, and for the treatment or prevention of migraine in a mammal. The present invention also relates to a process for the synthesis of intermediates in the synthesis of compounds of Formula I.
