摘要:
The design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of a novel series of CRF-1 receptor antagonists, the 2-arylpyrimidines, are described. The effects of substitution on the aromatic ring and the pyrimidine core on CRF-1 receptor binding were investigated. A number of compounds with K-i values below 10 nM and lipophilicity in a minimally acceptable range for a CNS drug (cLogP < 5) were discovered. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
