- Description
- Four small, targeted libraries of differentially substituted amino pyrimidines were synthesized in moderate to good yields. Excellent regiochemistry was observed for substitution at C2/C4 with selectivity >50 : 1 noted. All analogues were screened for their ability to interact with CRH₁ and CRH₂ receptors. In all instances only poor agonistic and/or antagonistic behaviour was noted at CRH₂. However, several compounds were potent and selective CRH₁ antagonists, most notably 13a Ki = 39nM. Additionally we have utilized these data and that recently reported by others to refine our original CRH₁ pharmacophore.
