摘要:
3-Phenylpyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridines were synthesized via a cyclization of 4-amino-3-phenylpyrazoles 11-13 with ethyl acetoacetate. These compounds were found to be potent CRF1 antagonists. The 2-alkylpyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridines were more polar but less active than the corresponding 1-alkyl-isomers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
