identified as potent and orally active corticotropin-releasingfactor-1 (CRF1) receptorantagonists. Selected compounds proved efficacious in an anxiety model in rats; however, pharmacokinetic properties were not optimal. In this article, we describe an in vitrointrinsicclearance-based approach to the optimization of pyrazinone-based CRF1receptorantagonists wherein sites of metabolism were identified
