摘要

A compound of the Formula (I) having CRF receptor antagonistic properties; pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as active ingredients; methods of treating disorders related to hypersecretion of CRF such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, by administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I). Wherein; X is N or CH; R1 is C1-6alkyl, NR6R7, OR7 or SR7; in case X is N then R2 is hydrogen, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy or C1-6alkylthio; in case X is CH then R2 is C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy or C1-6alkylthio; R3 is Ar1 or Het1; R4 and R5 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halo, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, amino, and mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)amino; R6 is hydrogen, C1-5alkyl, mono- or di(C3-6cycloalkyl)methyl, C3-6cycloalkyl, C3-6alkenyl, hydroxyC1-6alkyl, C1-6alkylcarbonyloxyC1-6alkyl or C1-6alkyloxyC1-6alkyl; R7 is C1-5alkyl, mono- or di(C3-6cycloalkyl)methyl, Ar2CH2, C1-6alkyloxyC3-6alkyl, hydroxyC1-6alkyl, C3-6alkenyl, thienylmethyl, furanylmethyl, C1-6alkylthioC1-6alkyl, mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)aminoC1-6alkyl, di(C1-6alkyl)amino, C1-6alkylcarbonylC1-6alkyl; or R6 and R7 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached may form a pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, homopiperidinyl or morpholinyl group, optionally substituted with C1-6alkyl or C1-6alkyloxyC1-6alkyl; and Ar1 is phenyl; phenyl substituted with 1,2 or 3 substituents each independently selected from halo, C1-6alkyl, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, cyano, C1-6alkyloxy, benzyloxy, C1-6alkylthio, nitro, amino and mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)amino; Het1 is pyridinyl; pyridinyl substituted with 1,2 or 3 substituents each independently selected from halo, Cl-6alkyl, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, cyano, C1-6alkyloxy, benzyloxy, C1-6alkylthio, nitro, amino, and mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)amino; and Ar2 is phenyl; phenyl substituted with 1,2 or 3 substituents each independently selected from halo, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy, di(C1-6alkyl)aminoC1-6alkyl, trifluoromethyl.
