The invention features methods of treating visceral pain or a condition in a mammal caused by the action of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or by the action of serotonin 5HT1D/1B receptors, by administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an indole compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. The methods of the invention may further comprise the administration of additional therapeutic agent. The invention also features new compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of resolving enantiomeric mixtures.

Indole compounds and methods for treating visceral pain

The present invention features inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), particularly those that selectively inhibit neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in preference to other NOS isoforms. The NOS inhibitors of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating or preventing conditions such as, for example, stroke, reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, head trauma, CABG, migraine headache with and without aura, migraine with allodynia, central post-stroke pain (CPSP), neuropathic pain, morphine/opioid induced tolerance and hyperalgesia.

Substituted indole compounds having NOS inhibitory activity

The present invention features quinolones, tetrahydroquinolines, and related compounds that inhibit nitric oxide synthase (NOS), particularly those that selectively inhibit neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in preference to other NOS isoforms. The NOS inhibitors of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating or preventing various medical conditions.

Quinolone and tetrahydroquinolone and related compounds having NOS inhibitory activity

The present invention features inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), particularly those that selectively inhibit neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in preference to other NOS isoforms. The NOS inhibitors of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating or preventing conditions such as, for example, stroke, reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, head trauma, CABG, migraine headache with and without aura, migraine with allodynia, central post-stroke pain (CPSP), neuropathic pain, or chronic pain.

1,5 and 3,6-substituted indole compounds having NOS inhibitory activity

The present invention relates to benzimidazole compounds having dual nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitory activity and agonist activity at the mu-opioid receptor, to pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions containing them, and to their medical use, particularly as compounds for the treatment or prevention of chronic pain, acute pain, migraine, and neuropathic pain.
