Utilizing atypical wake‐promoting agent modafinil (inactive in both rH 3 and hH 3 binding assays) as a launching pad, a series of sulfinyl‐ and sulfone‐derived H 3 receptor inverse agonists were developed. Brain‐permeable compound 27 , a potent member of the series displayed excellent selectivity against related family members (H 1 , H 2, and H 4 receptors).
