Novel 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-(arylsulfonyl)-1H-indoles were prepared. Binding assays indicated they are 5-HT(6) receptor ligands, among which N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-[3-(1-naphthylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-1-yl]ethyl)amine 8t and N-methyl-N-(2-[3-(1-naphthylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-1-yl]ethyl)amine 8u showed high affinity for 5-HT(6) receptors with K(i)=3.7 and 5.7 nM, respectively.
