Abstract: | Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships of a series of 3-dialkylamino-7-phenyl pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines (I) as selective antagonists of the corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF(1)) receptor are described. The most prominent compound to emerge from this work, 46 (E2508), exhibits potent in vitro activity, excellent drug-like properties, and robust oral efficacy in animal models of stress-related disorders. It has advanced into clinical trials. |
