1
wherein
Ar represents a mono-, di- or trisubstituted aryl group where at least one position on Ar ortho to the point of attachment to the pyrazole ring is substituted; and
R
1
represents lower alkyl;
R2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and
R
3
and R
4
independently represent organic and inorganic substituents,
which compounds are highly selective partial agonists or antagonists at human CRF
1
