Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine Derivatives: Potent and Orally Active Antagonists of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor 1 Receptor
摘要:
Design, synthesis, and structure activity relationships of a series of 3-dialkylamino-7-phenyl pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines (I) as selective antagonists of the corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF1) receptor are described. The most prominent compound to emerge from this work, 46 (E2508), exhibits potent in vitro activity, excellent drug-like properties, and robust oral efficacy in animal models of stress-related disorders. It has advanced into clinical trials.
Disclosed is a compound represented by the general formula (I) or a salt thereof:
