Abstract

A new class of small molecule GnRH antagonists, the 1-arylmethyl-3-(1-methyl-2-amino) ethyl-5-aryl-6-methyluracils, was designed and a novel stereoselective synthesis for these compounds was developed. The stereochemical integrities of key intermediates (S)-6 and (R)-6 were confirmed by a combination of X-ray crystallography and chiral HPLC determinations. SAR studies were performed, which allowed the identification of ...
