Abstract

A series of 2-dialkylamino-4-phenylpyrimidines (7) was designed and synthesized as CRF(1) antagonists. SAR studies of this series resulted in the discovery of potent and selective antagonists 7b and 7n bearing a 4-(2,4,6-trisubstituted-phenyl) ring and a bulky 2-(N-bis(cyclopropane)methyl-N-propyl)amino group.
