Abstract

CRF receptor antagonists are disclosed which have utility in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including the treatment of disorders manifesting hypersecretion of CRF in a warm-blooded animals, such as stroke. The CRF receptor antagonists of this invention have structure (I) including stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein n, m, A, B, C, R, R1, R2 and Ar are as defined herein. Compositions containing a CRF receptor antagonist in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are also disclosed, as well as methods for use of the same.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to CRF receptor antagonists and methods of treating disease by administering said antagonists to a warm-blooded animal in need thereof. Background of the invention [0002] The first corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) was isolated from the sheep hypothalamus and confirmed to be a 41 amino acid peptide (Vale et al., Science 213:1394-1397, 1981). Subsequently, the sequences of human and rat CRFs were isolated and confirmed to be identical, but they differed from the sheep CRF in 7 out of 41 amino acid residues (Rivier et al., Proc. USA) 80: 4851, 1983; Shibahara et al., EMBO J. 2: 775, 1983). [0003] CRF has been found to cause significant changes in the function of the endocrine, nervous and immune systems. CRF is believed to be the basal release and response of adrenocorticotropic hormone ("ACTH"), beta-endorphin, and other opiate-melanotrophin-procorticotropin ("POMC")-derived peptides from the anterior pit...
