Abstract
Two isomers of the hexahydro-tetraazaacenaphthylene templates (1 and 2) are presented as novel, potent, and selective corticotropin releasing factor-1 (CRF1) receptor antagonists. In this paper, we report the affinity and SAR of a series of compounds, as well as pharmacokinetic characterization of a chosen set. The anxiolitic activity of a selected example (2ba) in the rat pup vocalization model is also presented.
Graphical abstractThe synthesis, SAR, and in vivo characterization of a novel class of CRF1 antagonist are reported.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
