FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides pyridino and pyrimidino pyrazinone compounds useful as corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) receptor antagonists for the treatment of disorders characterized by physiologically abnormal levels of CRF.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), synonymous with corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), is a 41 amino acid peptide that coordinates the overall response of the body to stress. As an agonist of CRF receptors (e.g., CRF1 and CRF2), CRF is well known as the primary physiological secretagogue controlling hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity which mediates the endocrine stress response. CRF also plays a central role in the autonomic and behavioral responses to stress. Variation in physiological levels of CRF has been correlated with various disorders including depression, anxiety, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Antagonists of CRF receptors have been shown to effectively ameliorate behavioral stress responses in animal models. It is well established that systemic administration of CRF1 receptor antagonists leads to anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in rodents. Animal model evidence also shows that CRF1 antagonists can help alleviate the symptoms of drug withdrawal, stress-induced seizures, and certain inflammations. A role for CRF has also been postulated in the etiology and pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as they relate to the dysfunction of CRF neurons in the central nervous system. Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, have also been linked to elevated levels of CRF.
Though widely dispersed throughout the central nervous system, CRF receptors are also found in peripheral systems including glandular, vascular, gastrointestinal, and immune system tissues. Accordingly, CRF antagonists are believed to have potential in treating numerous disorders of the peripheral systems. Some CRF-related disorders of peripheral systems include, for example, hypertension, tachycardia, congestive heart failure, stroke, irritable bowel syndrome, post-operative ileus, and colonic hypersensitivity. Studies have indicated that CRF1 antagonists may also be useful as hair growth stimulators.
Numerous articles have reported the physiological role of CRF and the potential therapeutic activity of non-peptidic CRF receptor antagonists. Some of these articles, detailing much of the above discussion, include, for example; Gilligan, et al., J. Medicinal Chem., 2000, 43, 1641, Newport, et al., Curr. Opin. Neurobiology, 2000, 10, 211; Mastorakos, et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 2000, 900, 95; Koob, et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 2000, 909, 170; Maillot, et al., Gastroenterology, 2000, 119, 1569; Chrousos, Int. J. Obesity, 2000, 24, Suppl. 2, S50; Owens, et al., Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 1999, 8, 1849; McCarthy, et al., Current Pharmaceutical Design, 1999, 5, 289; Heinrichs, et al., Baillier's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1999, 13, 541; Arborelius, et al., Journal of Endocrinology, 1999, 160, 1; Webster, et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 1998, 840, 21; and Chalmers, et al., TiPS, 1996, 17, 166; De Souza, Hosp. Practice, 1988, 23, 59; WO 02/19975; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,901, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Separate from the compounds reported herein, some pyrimidino pyrazinone-based compounds have been reported in WO 01/62758 as kinase inhibitors and WO 01/19825 for the treatment of chemokine mediated diseases.
As evidenced by the numerous publications directed to the study of CRF and its connection with various disorders, there is a current need for new ways in which to reduce the effects of abnormal levels of CRF or CRF receptors. For example, treatment methods for alleviating or reducing the physiological and/or neurological symptoms associated with elevated levels of CRF are desirable. The compounds described herein help fulfill these and other needs.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of compound effective to reduce or eliminate at least one symptom of a disorder that the compound was used to treat.
Compounds of this invention can be administered to treat the above disorders by any suitable means that allows the compound to contact the compound's site of action, such as a CRF receptor, in the body of a mammal. The compounds can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals either as an individual therapeutic agent or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Compounds of the present invention can be administered alone, or in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage of compound administered varies depending on several factors such as the pharmacodynamic character of the particular compound, and its mode and route of administration; the recipient's age, weight, and health; nature and extent of symptoms; kind of concurrent treatment; frequency of treatment; and desired effect. For use in the treatment of the above diseases or conditions, the compounds of this invention can be orally administered daily at a dosage of the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula I) of about 0.002 to about 200 mg/kg of body weight. For example, a dose of about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg can be divided into smaller doses and administered one to four times a day. Alternatively, sustained release formulations can be effective in obtaining the desired pharmacological effect.
Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for administration can contain from about 1 mg to about 100 mg of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions, the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula I) can be present in an amount of about 0.5 to 95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula I) can be administered orally in solid dosage forms such as capsules, tablets and powders, or in liquid forms such as elixirs, syrups, and/or suspensions. The compounds of this invention can also be administered parenterally in sterile liquid dose formulations.
Gelatin capsules can be used to contain the active ingredient and a suitable carrier such as, but not limited to, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, steric acid, or cellulose derivatives. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of time. Compressed tablets can be sugar-coated or film-coated to mask any unpleasant taste, or used to protect the active ingredients from the atmosphere, or to allow selective disintegration of the tablet in the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquid dose forms for oral administration can also contain coloring or flavoring agents to increase patient acceptance.
Typically, water, pharmaceutically acceptable oils, saline, aqueous dextrose, and related sugar solutions and glycols, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration can contain, for example, a water soluble salt of the active ingredient and suitable stabilizing agents. Antioxidizing agents, such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or in combination, can act as suitable stabilizing agents. Also suitable as stabilizing agents are citric acid and its salts, and EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives such as, for example, benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
The compounds of this invention may also be used as reagents or standards in the biochemical study of neurological function, dysfunction, and disease.
Compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by the following synthetic routes and schemes. Where a detailed description is not provided, it is assumed that those skilled in the art of organic synthesis will readily understand the meaning.
Compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared according to the route shown in Scheme 1.




According to scheme 1, a compound of Formula II can be coupled to an aromatic compound of Formula III, with elimination of M-K. For compounds of Formula II, K can represent a halide, pseudohalide (such as, for example, mesylate, tosylate or triflate), or thiomethyl. For compounds of Formula III, M can represent groups such as lithium, bromomagnesium, chlorozinc, (dihydroxy)boron, (dialkoxy)boron, trialkylstannyl, and the like. The coupling reaction of scheme 1 can be performed in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride, [1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]nickel dichloride, etc. Example methods involve the coupling of chloroheterocycles with in-situ-prepared arylzinc reagents according to the method described in Negishi et al., J. Org. Chem. 1977, 42, 1821, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and the coupling with arylboronic esters according to the method described in Suzuki et al., Chem. Letters 1989, 1405, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Appropriate solvents for reactions of this type usually include, for example, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dimethylformamide, or dimethylsulfoxide. Typical temperatures can range, for example, from ambient up to the boiling point of the solvent.

Preparation of compounds of Formula VI wherein A is a nitrogen atom can proceed according to the route of Scheme 2.




A compound of Formula IV, such as, for example, when K is chloride, can be obtained from commercial sources. Compounds bearing pseudohalide K groups can be made from the corresponding dihydroxy compounds by treatment with an appropriate activating reagent, such as an organosulfonic anhydride or sulfonyl chloride. Compounds of Formula IV can be converted to compounds of Formula VI by, for example, (i) monoalkylation with a compound P—NH2, followed by reduction of the nitro group, or (ii) reduction of the nitro group, to give an amine compound of Formula V, followed by monoalkylation with a compound R3—NH2. Pyrimidine chemistry of this type is well represented in the literature, and is reviewed in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 6, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Alkylation of chloropyrimidines with amine compounds can be accomplished under either acidic (e.g., HCl or acetic) or basic (e.g., trialkylamines, potassium tert-butoxide, etc.) conditions. Nitro groups in compounds of this type can be reduced to amino groups using one of any number of conditions, including catalytic hydrogenation, tin dichloride, sodium dithionite, zinc metal, iron powder, etc.

Compounds of Formula VI can be cyclized with an appropriate ketoester by condensation followed by intramolecular cyclization in toluene, ethanol, methanol, butanol, or other appropriate solvent either alone or in the presence of acid such as a toluenesulfonic acid, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, Lewis acid, etc. The reaction can be run at any suitable temperature such as, for example, ambient temperature to the boiling point of any given solvent to give the compounds of Formula (I).
An example preparation of compounds of Formula V, wherein A is carbon and B is nitrogen, is shown in Scheme 3.




An hydroxypyridone compound of Formula VII can be nitrated to give compounds of Formula VIII employing conditions such as, for example, concentrated or fuming nitric acid, optionally in the presence of concentrated sulfuric or acetic acid. Both the hydroxy and pyridone groups in compounds of Formula VIII can be activated at the same time, using stronger conditions such as phosphorus oxychloride and heat, or excess toluenesulfonic anhydride, to give compounds of Formula IX. Selective monoalkylation of compounds of Formula IX is also possible, but can give mixtures of regioisomeric products. The nitro group of compounds of Formula X can then be reduced as discussed above, to give compounds of Formula V wherein A is CR4. Cyclization as described above can yield compounds of Formula (I).

Another route (scheme 4) can convert compounds of Formula II to the metallated compounds of Formula XI for coupling to appropriate aryl halides as described above.




The compound of Formula II (A=N) can also be synthesized by direct halogenation of compounds of Formula XII (scheme 5). This can be achieved selectively by forming the N-oxide with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, or other appropriate oxidizing agents followed by treatment with a halogenating agent such as phosphorous oxychloride as described in Tomczuk et al., J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 2993, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.




Compounds of Formula V, which are typically commercially available, can be exposed to aryl coupling conditions (scheme 6) as described above to give compounds of Formula XIII, which can be elaborated to give compounds of Formula XIV, which upon treatment with an appropriate keto-ester under conditions described can give rise to compounds of Formula (I) where A=N.




Compounds of Formula XV (scheme 7), which are typically commercially available, can be reacted with an appropriate amine to give compounds of Formula XVI. The nitro group can then be reduced as described above and compounds of Formula XVIII cyclized with the desired ketoester in a manner analogous to the cyclizations previously described. This cyclized material can then be halogenated to give the desired halide derivative which, in turn, can be subjected to aryl coupling conditions as previously described to give the desired analogs. Alternatively, compounds of Formula XVIII can be directly metallated and the organolithium subjected to aryl coupling conditions as described above. Compounds of Formula XVIII can also be used as a precursor to XIX following reaction conditions described earlier.




Commercially available compounds of Formula VII can be nitrated employing conditions such as fuming nitric acid, optionally in the presence of concentrated sulfuric or acetic acid (scheme 8). The hydroxypyridone compounds of Formula VIII can be selectively protected. One method of protection, for example, involves the treatment of dicyclohexylamine salts of compounds of Formula VIII. Conversion of compounds of Formula XXI, where K=Cl, can be achieved by treatment with sulfonyl chloride, or if K is a pseudohalide, treatment with organicsulfonic anhydride. The coupling reaction can be run as described above to give compounds of Formula XXII and the nitro group reduced using catalytic hydrogenation, tin dichloride, sodiumithionite, etc. Cyclization as described above can give compounds of Formula I, where A=CR4.




Methods of synthesis of compounds R3—OH, R3—J and R3—NH2 are related, in that the alcohol can be used in the synthesis of the other two compounds, as is shown in Scheme 9.




For example, the hydroxy group can be converted to the following J groups, using the indicated reagents (this route is not limited to these J groups): methanesulfonate, using methanesulfonyl chloride or anhydride and an appropriate base; toluenesulfonate, using toluenesulfonyl chloride or anhydride and an appropriate base; iodide; using iodine/triphenylphosphine; bromide, using phosphorus tribromide or carbon tetrabromide/triphenylphosphine; or trifluoromethanesulfonate, using trifluoromethane-sulfonic anhydride and an appropriate base. Both compounds R3—OH and R3—J are used in the methods portrayed in Scheme 1. Conversion of R3—J to R3—N3 typically uses an azide source, such as sodium azide, and a solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide, or water and a phase-transfer catalyst (such as tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate). Reduction of the azide compound R3—N3 to R3—NH2 can be accomplished using reagents such as, for example, sodium borohydride or triphenylphosphine, or hydrogen gas and a catalyst (such as palladium on carbon). The amine R3—NH2 can then be employed in the methods portrayed in Scheme 2.

In the cases where the compound R3—OH could be represented by Formula XXIV (Scheme 10), wherein Ra and Rb represent substructures which, taken together with the carbinol methine group, comprise the entire group R3, this compound can be prepared by addition to a carbonyl compound.




This route can be useful in the case where Ra or Rb represent a cycloalkyl group, such as cyclopropyl. An organometallic reagent (where M′ represents a metallic group, such as Li, CuCN, CuI, MgCl, MgBr, MgI, ZnCl, CrCl, etc.) can be allowed to react with an aldehyde reagent to prepare the alcohol compound of Formula XXIV. Alternatively, a ketone of Formula XXV can be treated with a reducing agent, such as, for example, sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, etc., which can also generate the alcohol of Formula XXIV. Standard methods of ketone synthesis can be used where appropriate in the preparation of compounds of Formula XXV, which are familiar to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis.

An homologous approach can also be employed in the synthesis of alcohols R3—OH, involving the ring-opening reaction of cyclic ether compounds with organometallic reagents (Scheme 11).




Here, an organometallic reagent Ra-M′′ is used, where M′′ represents metals such as Mg, Zn or Cu. An example method is described in Huynh, et al., Tetrahedron Letters 1979, 17, 1503–1506, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, where organomagnesium reagents are reacted with cyclic ethers with catalysis provided by copper (I) iodide. Use of an epoxide compound of Formula XXVII in this manner can result in synthesis of an alcohol compound of Formula XXVIII, and use of an oxetane compound of Formula XXVI can generate an alcohol of Formula XXIX. Both compounds XXVIII and XXIX are variants of R3—OH.

Synthesis of compound R3—NH2 with Formula XXX is portrayed in Scheme 12.




A simple reductive amination of ketones of Formula XXV can produce amines of Formula XXX. This reaction can be performed using anhydrous ammonia in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst. Alternatively, addition of an organometallic reagent to a nitrile compound gives an imine, which can be treated in situ with a reducing agent (such as, for example, sodium cyanoborohydride) to give amines of Formula XXX. Further, a compound of Formula XXXII, wherein Q is an optionally-substituted oxygen atom (i.e., an oxime) or nitrogen atom (i.e., a hydrazone), can be allowed to react with an organometallic reagent Rb-M′′′. Here, metallic groups M′′′ such as MgBr, CuCl or CeCl2 can be used in additions to oximes or hydrazones. The intermediate addition products of Formula XXXI can be subjected to reductive cleavage (using conditions such as sodium/liquid ammonia or catalytic hydrogenation), which can afford amines of Formula XXX.

Amino acids, either naturally-occurring or synthetic, are potential sources of useful starting materials for the synthesis of the compounds of this invention. Scheme 13 shows some possible applications of this approach.




Protected amino acids of Formula XXXIV can be prepared from the parent compounds of Formula XXXIII. Some example protecting groups (“Prot”) include tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, and triphenylmethyl. Standard texts in peptide chemistry describe amino protecting groups. The carboxylic acid group can be reduced using reagents such as lithium borohydride, giving, for example, alcohols of Formula XXV. The hydroxy group can be converted to a leaving group “J” as described before. The compounds of Formula XXXVI can be treated with appropriate reagents to produce a wide variety of functional groups (e.g., compounds of Formula XXXVII). For example, displacement of J with cyanide (e.g., sodium cyanide in warm dimethylformamide) can give a nitrile. Displacement of J with a mercaptan (in the presence of a base, such as potassium carbonate) can give a disulfide. Further, displacement of J with a secondary amine can give a tertiary amine, etc.

The compounds of Formula (I) with unsaturated R1 groups can be a further source of compounds. Unsaturated (double and triple) bonds can take part in cycloaddition chemistry using appropriate reagents (Scheme 14). Cycloaddition of an alkyne compound of Formula XXXIX with 1,3-dienes to give six-membered ring compounds like that of Formula XL (commonly known as the Diels-Alder reaction), and cycloaddition with 3-atom dipolar reagents to give heterocyclic compounds of Formula XLI, are familiar to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis. An example of this approach is the synthesis of an isoxazole compound of Formula XLII from the alkyne XXXIX and a nitrile oxide reagent.




The synthetic procedure in Scheme 15 shown below can be used to prepare compounds of Formula (Ia).




Reaction of 4-chloropyridone of Formula XLIII with an aryl halide, such as benzyl bromide in benzene and in the presence of Ag2CO3 as described in Scheme 15 (Smith A. M. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1993, 36, 8, which is incorporated herein by reference) and at temperature ranges of, for example, about 30 to about 80° C. can afford the corresponding 2-benzyloxypyridine of Formula XLIV. This compound can be coupled, for example, with an arylboronic acid, ArB(OH)2, under palladium-catalyzed conditions to give compounds of Formula XLV. The benzyloxy group can be removed by treatment with a strong acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid, triflic acid, sulfuric acid, HCl, etc. to give pyridones of Formula XLVI. This compound can be converted to the 2-halopyridine derivative with the action of POX3, PX5, (X is halo) or the corresponding triflate, tosylate or mesylate, which can be displaced with a primary amine R3NH2 to give XLVII. The nitro group can be reduced under conditions decribed in scheme 15, and the aminopyridine can be cyclized to XLVIII under the conditions described in scheme 15.

The following examples are provided to describe the invention in further detail and are intended to illustrate and not to limit the invention. Potency of binding to CFR1 recetor for select compounds are listed as IC50 ranges where a=<1 nM; b=1–10 nM; c=10–100 nM; d=100 nM–1 μM; e=>1 μM.

Preparation 1
2-Chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxyphenylboronic acid
Part A
To a 1-chloro-3,4-difluorobenzene (25 g, 0.17 mol) cooled to 0° C. was added fuming nitric acid (50 mL) dropwise over 30 min. The orange solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The solution was poured slowly over ice and the resultant mixture extracted with diethyl ether. The diethyl ether layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 26 g (80%) of 1-chloro-4,5-difluoro-2-nitro-benzene: Crude 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.88 (dd, J=9.3, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (dd, J=9.3, 7.1 Hz, 1H). The crude material was pure enough to carry on to the next step.
Part B
To sodium methoxide (100 mL of a 0.5 M solution in methanol, 50.1 mmol) cooled to 0° C. was added a solution of 1-chloro-4,5-difluoro-2-nitro-benzene (9.7 g, 50.1 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) dropwise over 15 min. The solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h, then poured slowly over ice. The yellow precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cold water. The crystals were air dried to give 8.2 g (79%) of 1-chloro-4-fluoro-5-methoxy-2-nitro-benzene: Crude 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.85 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 3.98 (s, 3H). The crude material was pure enough to carry on to the next step.
Part C
1-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-methoxy-2-nitro-benzene (16.3 g, 79.3 mmol) and Sn granules (29.1 g, 246 mmol) were suspended in water (200 mL). Concentrated HCl (79 mL, 952 mmol) was added dropwise over 20 min. The resulting mixture was heated to 55° C. for 3 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and carefully quenched with 1 N NaOH. The thick mixture was filtered through celite eluting the ethyl acetate to give a clear solution which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 26 g (80%) of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline: Crude 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 6.88 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.57 (d, J=12.2 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.77 (br s, 2H). The crude material was pure enough to carry on to the next step.
Part D
2-Chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline (14.0 g, 79.7 mmol) was cooled to 0° C. and conc. HCl (40 mL) was added over 20 min. The suspension was heated to 55° C. until the aniline was completely dissolved, then cooled back to 0° C. A solution of sodium nitrite (6.1 g, 87.7 mmol) in water (15 mL) was added dropwise over 15 min. After complete addition the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Hexanes (24 mL) and dichloromethane (24 mL) were added followed by a solution of potassium iodide (26.5 g, 159.4 mmol) in water (25 mL) which was added dropwise over 30 min. After stirring at 0° C. for 4 h dichloromethane (50 mL) was added and the reaction quenched with sat. aq. NaHSO3. The solution was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 21 g (92%) of 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-iodo-5-methoxy-benzene: Crude 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.48 (d, J=10.3 Hz, 1H), 7.04 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 3.86 (s, 3H). The crude material was pure enough to carry on to the next step.
Part E
To 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-iodo-5-methoxy-benzene (10.0 g, 34.9 mmol) in THF (70 mL) was cooled to −78° C. was added triisopropylborate (8.9 mL, 38.4 mmol) followed by dropwise addition of n-butyl lithium (24 mL of a 1.6 M solution in hexanes, 38.4 mL). The solution was stirred and allowed to warm to room temperature over night by dissipation of the dry ice/acetone bath. 1N HCl (50 mL0 and water (50 mL) were added and the solution stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with 1:1 hexanes/diethyl ether and the solid collected by filtration to give 3.8 g (53%) of pure 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-iodo-5-methoxyphenyl boronic acid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.64 (d, J=11.7 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 5.21 (br s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H).




Preparation 2
2-Chloro-4-dimethylamino-5-fluorophenylboronic acid
Parts A and B
A solution of 1-chloro-4,5-difluoro-2-nitro-benzene (Preparation 1) (20.0 g, 103.3 mmol), K2CO3 (31.4 g, 227.3 mmol) and dimethyl amine. HCl (9.3 g, 113.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (200 mL) was heated to reflux for 2 h. The solution cooled to room temperature, quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 22.1 g (98%) of 1-chloro-5-dimethylamino-4-fluoro-2-nitro-benzene: Crude 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.83 (d, J=14.2 Hz, 1H), 6.72 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 3.09 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 6H), 3.77 (br s, 2H).

Example A
Biological Assay
The compounds of the present invention can have CRF receptor antagonist activity. A compound can be considered active if it has a Ki value of less than about 10,000 nM for the inhibition of CRF. Ki values can be determined by any suitable biological assay, such as, for example, the assay described below.
Provided herein is an example of a CRF1 receptor binding assay that can be used for the evaluation of biological activity of compounds of the present invention. The example also includes isolation of cell membranes containing cloned human CRF1 receptors for use in the binding assay.
Messenger RNA is isolated from human hippocampus by standard techniques. The mRNA is reverse transcribed using oligo (dt) 12–18 and the coding region is amplified by PCR from start to stop codons The resulting PCR fragment is cloned into the EcoRV site of pGEMV, from whence the insert is reclaimed using XhoI+XbaI and cloned into the XhoI+XbaI sites of vector pm3ar (which contains a CMV promoter, the SV40 ‘t’ splice and early poly A signals, an Epstein-Barr viral origin of replication, and a hygromycin selectable marker). The resulting expression vector, called phchCRFR is transfected in 293EBNA cells, and cells retaining the episome are selected in the presence of 400 μM hygromycin. Cells surviving 4 weeks of selection in hygromycin are pooled, adapted to growth in suspension, and used to generate membranes for the binding assay described below. Individual aliquots containing approximately 1×108 of the suspended cells are then centrifuged to form a pellet and frozen.
For the binding assay, a frozen pellet described above containing 293EBNA cells transfected with hCRFR1 receptors is homogenized in 10 mL of ice cold tissue buffer (50 mM HEPES buffer pH 7.0, containing 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA, 1 μg/l aprotinin, 1 μg/ml leupeptin and 1 μg/ml pepstatin). The homogenate is centrifuged at 40,000×g for 12 min and the resulting pellet rehomogenized in 10 mL of tissue buffer. After another centrifugation at 40,000×g for 12 min, the pellet is resuspended to a protein concentration of 360 μg/ml to be used in the assay.
Binding assays are performed in 96 well plates; each well having a 300 μL capacity. To each well is added 50 μL of test drug dilutions (final concentration of drugs range from 10−10 to 10−5 M), 100 μL of 125I-ovine-CRF (125I-o-CRF) (final concentration 150 pM) and 150 μL of the cell homogenate described above. Plates are then allowed to incubate at room temperature for 2 hours before filtering the incubate over GF/F filters (presoaked with 0.3% polyethyleneimine) using an appropriate cell harvester. Filters are rinsed 2 times with ice cold assay buffer before removing individual filters and assessing them for radioactivity on a gamma counter.
Curves of the inhibition of 125I-o-CRF binding to cell membranes at various dilutions of test drug are analyzed by the iterative curve fitting program LIGAND Munson, et al., Anal. Biochem., 1980, 107, 220, which is incorporate herein by reference in its entirety, which provides Ki values for inhibition which are then used to assess biological activity.
Other in vitro assays for the determination of CRF1 receptor antagonist activity of the present compounds are described, for example, in Endocrinology, 1985, 116, 1653 and in Peptides, 1985, 10, 179, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Receptor binding activity of compounds can also be evaluated according to the methods described in Grigoriadis, et al., Biochemical, Pharmacological, and Autoradiographic Methods to Study Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptors.

Activity of the present compounds can be studied by the inhibition of CRF-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity which can be performed as described by Battaglia, et al., Synapse, 1987, 1, 572, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Assays are carried out at 37° C. for 10 min in 200 mL of buffer containing 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 at 37° C.), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.4 mM EGTA, 0.1% BSA, 1 mM isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), 250 units/ml phosphocreatine kinase, 5 mM creatine phosphate, 100 mM guanosine 5′-triphosphate, 100 nM oCRF, antagonist peptides (concentration range 10−9 to 10−6 M) and 0.8 mg original wet weight tissue (approximately 40–60 mg protein). Reactions are initiated by the addition of 1 mM ATP/32P]ATP (approximately 2–4 mCi/tube) and terminated by the addition of 100 mL of 50 mM Tris-HCL, 45 mM ATP and 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate. In order to monitor the recovery of cAMP, 1 μL of [3H]cAMP (approximately 40,000 dpm) is added to each tube prior to separation. The separation of [32P]cAMP from [32P]ATP is performed by sequential elution over Dowex and alumina columns.
