Abstract:
This invention relates to compounds of Formula I, a stereoisomer thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a prodrug thereof. The compounds interact with CRF1 receptors, including human CRF1 receptors. This invention also relates to methods of using the compounds of the invention to treat a disorder or condition, the treatment of which can be effected or facilitated by antagonizing a CRF receptor, such as CNS disorders or diseases, particularly anxiety-related disorders such as anxiety, and mood disorders such as major depression.
Abstract:
Substituted aryl pyrazine derivatives of the formula I as defined herein, and their use in treating anxiety disorders, depression and stress related disorders are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6, have any of the values defined in the specification, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds. The invention also provides therapeutic methods as well as processes and intermediates useful for preparing compounds of Formula (I). The compounds are 5-HT ligands and are useful for treating diseases wherein modulation of 5-HT2C activity is desired.
