Abstract

The novel synthesis and SAR studies of 6-methyluracils as human GnRH receptor antagonists are discussed. Introduction of a small methyl substituent at the beta-position from N3 of the uracil improved the GnRH binding potency by 5- to 10-fold. The best compound from the series had binding affinity of 5 nM (K(i)) to the human GnRH receptor.
