title: Heteroatom-linked indanylpyrazines are corticotropin releasing factor type-1 receptor antagonists.
abstract: Low nanomolar corticotropin releasing factor type-1 (CRF(1)) receptor antagonists containing unique indanylamines were identified from the heteroatom-linked pyrazine chemotype. The most potent indanylpyrazine had a K(i)=11+/-1 nM. The oxygen-linked pyrazinyl derivatives were prepared through a copper-catalyzed coupling of a pyridinone to a bromo- or iodopyrazine.
