We designed and synthesized a series of 2-Ar-8-methyl-5-alkylaminolquinolines as potent corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF1) receptor antagonists. The structure-activity relationships of substituents at each position (R-3, R-5, R-5', and R-8) was investigated. By derivatization, three compounds (6, 14b, and 14c) were identified as orally active CRF1 receptor antagonists. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Design, synthesis and structure–activity relationships of 5-alkylaminolquinolines as a novel series of CRF1 receptor antagonists
A series of 5-alkylaminolquinolines was designed and synthesized as potential novel CRF1 receptor antagonists. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the substituents on each position (R-2, R-3, R-5 and R-5') were investigated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
