Abstract

Structure–activity studies around the 4-position of 2-anilinopyrimidine corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists suggest that there is a large lipophilic cavity in the rat CRF receptor, which can accommodate a wide variety of substituents at this position in contrast to the steric constraints observed for other positions on the 2-anilinopyrimidine core. The chemical syntheses and biological activities of 2-anilinopyrimidine CRF antagonists with carbon- ...
