Abstract

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 ...
