The syntheses of a centrally active nonpeptide CRF1 receptor antagonist 2, butylethyl[2,5-dimethyl-7-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-7H-pyrrolo [2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]amine (CP-154,526), and its analogs 11-14 and [3H]-2 are reported. The in vitro CRF1 receptor binding affinity in the series 2, the pharmacokinetic properties of 2 in rats, and the anxiolytic-like effects of orally administered 2 are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
