To identify an orally active corticotropin-releasing factor 1 receptor antagonist, a series of 6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and their derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated. An in vitro study followed by in vivo and pharmacokinetic studies of these heterotricyclic compounds led us to the discovery of an orally active CRF1 receptor antagonist. The results of a structure-activity relationship study are presented.

This report describes the syntheses and structure-activity relationships of 8-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine corticotropin releasing factor receptor-1 (CRF1) receptor antagonists. CRF1 receptor antagonists may be potential anxiolytic or antidepressant drugs. This research culminated in the discovery of analogue 12-3, which is a potent, selective CRF1 antagonist (hCRF1 IC50 ) 4.7 ± 2.0 nM) with weak affinity for the CRF-binding protein and biogenic amine receptors. This compound also has a good pharmacokinetic profile in dogs. Analogue 12-3 is orally effective in two rat models of anxiety: the defensive withdrawal (situational anxiety) model and the elevated plus maze test. Analogue 12-3 has been advanced to clinical trials.

Structure-activity relationship studies led to the discovery of 4-(3- pentylamino)-2,7-dimethyl-8-(2-methyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrazolo-[1,5-a]- pyrimidine 11-31 (DMP904), whose pharmacological profile strongly supports the hypothesis that hCRF1 antagonists may be potent anxiolytic drugs. Compound 11-31 (hCRF1 K(i) = 1.0 ± 0.2 nM (n = 8)) was a potent antagonist of hCRF1-coupled adenylate cyclase activity in HEK293 cells (IC50 = 10.0 ± 0.01 nM versus 10 nM r/hCRF, n = 8); α-helical CRF(9-41) had weaker potency (IC50 = 286 ± 63 nM, n = 3). Analogue 11-31 had good oral activity in the rat situational anxiety test; the minimum effective dose for 11-31 was 0.3 mg/kg (po). Maximal efficacy (approximately 57% reduction in latency time in the dark compartment) was observed at this dose. Chlordiazepoxide caused a 72% reduction in latency at 20 mg/kg (po). The literature compound 1 (CP154526-1, 30 mg/kg (po)) was inactive in this test. Compound 11-31 did not inhibit open-field locomotor activity at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg (po) in rats. In beagle dogs, this compound (5 mg/kg, iv, po) afforded good plasma levels. The key iv pharmacokinetic parameters were t(1/2), CL and V(d,ss) values equal to 46.4 ± 7.6 h, 0.49 ± 0.08 L/kg/h and 23.0 ± 4.2 L/kg, respectively. After oral dosing, the mean C(max), T(max), t(1/2) and bioavailability values were equal to 1260 ± 290 nM, 0.75 ± 0.25 h, 45.1 ± 10.2 h and 33.1%, respectively. The overall rat behavioral profile of this compound suggests that it may be an anxiolytic drug with a low motor side effect liability. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
