The synthesis and SAR studies of tricyclic imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones as human corticotropin-releasing factor receptor (CRF(1)) antagonists are discussed herein. Compound 16g was identified as a functional antagonist that inhibited CRF-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate production and CRF-induced adrenocorticotrophic hormone release. Pharmacokinetics studies in rats showed that 16g was orally bioavailable, had good brain penetration, and had a moderate half-life. In our effort to identify CRF(1) antagonists with improved pharmacokinetics properties, 16g exhibited a favorably lower volume of distribution.
本文讨论了三环咪唑并[4,5-b]吡啶-2-酮作为人促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子受体(CRF(1))拮抗剂的合成及构效关系研究。化合物16g被鉴定为一种功能性拮抗剂,可抑制CRF刺激的环磷酸腺苷生成以及CRF诱导的促肾上腺皮质激素释放。大鼠体内的药代动力学研究表明,16g具有口服生物利用度,脑渗透性良好,半衰期适中。为了找到具有改善药代动力学性质的CRF(1)拮抗剂,16g表现出有利的较低分布容积。
