The synthesis of a series of (R)-3-[2-(2-amino)phenethyl]-1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-6-methyluracils containing a substituted thiophene or thiazole at C-5 is described. SAR around C-5 of the uracil led to the discovery that a 2-thienyl or (2-phenyl)thiazol-4-yl group is required for optimal receptor binding. The best compound from the series had a binding affinity of 2 nM (K(i)) for the human GnRH receptor

Based on the SAR from bicyclic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists such as 6-aminomethyl-7-aryl-pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]pyrimid-4-ones (5) and 2-aryl-3-aminomethyl-imidazolo[1,2-alpha]pyrimid-5-ones (6a,b), a series of novel uracil compounds (8) were derived as GnRH antagonists. The synthesis and SAR studies of 6-methyluracils as human GnRH receptor antagonists are discussed herein. Introduction of a small methyl substituent at the beta-position of the N3 side-chain improved the GnRH binding potency by 5-10-fold. Introduction of a methyl group of (R)-configuration at the alpha-carbon of the N-3 side-chain gave a modest improvement in binding affinity over the unsubstituted ethylene analogues. This modification enabled us to make uracil compounds without the labile 2-pyridylethyl motif on the basic nitrogen while still maintained excellent potency against the hGnRH receptor.
