The design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of a novel series of CRF-1 receptor antagonists, the 2-arylpyrimidines, are described. The effects of substitution on the aromatic ring and the pyrimidine core on CRF-1 receptor binding were investigated. A number of compounds with K(i) values below 10 nM and lipophilicity in a minimally acceptable range for a CNS drug (cLogP<5) were discovered.
描述了一系列新型促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子-1(CRF-1)受体拮抗剂——2-芳基嘧啶的设计、合成及构效关系研究。研究了芳环和嘧啶核心上的取代基对CRF-1受体结合的影响。发现了许多K(i)值低于10 nM且亲脂性在中枢神经系统药物最低可接受范围内(cLogP<5)的化合物。
