Binding of methoxy-substituted N1-benzenesulfonylindole analogs at human 5-HT6 serotonin receptors

Comparison of several amine-substituted and methoxy-substituted analogs of N1-(4-aminobenzene)sulfonylindole suggests that these substituents might contribute to the 5-HT6 serotonin receptor affinity of these agents via their electronic effect on the indolic nucleus. Their 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole counterparts behave differently.
