QUINOLINE AND QUINAZOLINE DERIVATIVES HAVING CORTICOTROPIN RELEASING FACTOR (CRF) ANTAGONIST ACTIVITY

摘要

The invention relates to novel quinoline and quinazoline derivatives having corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonist activity. It has been found that compounds having formula (I) wherein A is CH or N, ring Q is phenyl, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl or pyridazinyl, optionally substituted with one or two groups R4; ring Y is phenyl, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl or pyrazinyl; R1 and R2 are optionally branched C1-6-alkyl, C3-6-alkenyl, C3-6-alkynyl, C3-6-cycloalkyl-C1-4-alkyl, phenyl-C1-4-alkyl, 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclyl-C1-4-alkyl, which groups R1 and R2 can be substituted with OH, C1-3-alkoxy, C1-3-alkoxycarbonyl, optionally mono- or di-(C1-3-alkyl)substituted amino, halogen or cyano; R3 is H, C1-3-alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, or R3 is halogen, methoxy or ethoxy; R4 is C1-3-alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms, or R4 is halogen, methoxy, ethoxy, amino, mono- or di-substituted amino, or cyano; R5 is halogen, optionally branched C1-6-alkyl, C3-6-alkenyl, C3-6-alkynyl, C3-6-cycloalkyl-C1-4-alkyl, O-(C1-6-alkyl), S-(C1-6-alkyl), SO2-(C1-6-alkyl), hydroxy, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl, SO2NH2, SO2N(mono- or di-C1-4-alkyl), formyl, CO-(C1-6-alkyl), COOH, COO-(C1-6-alkyl), CONH2, CON(mono- or di-C1-4-alkyl), amino, N(mono or di-C1-4-alkyl), NHCO(C1-6-alkyl), NHSO2-(C1-6-alkyl), which groups R5 can be identical or different; and n has the value 0 to 4; with the proviso that the group NR1R2 is not diethylamino, ethyl,n-propylamino or ethyl,n-butylamino, if A is CH, Q is unsubstituted phenyl, R3 is methyl, and substituent Y with the group(s) R5 is 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, and salts thereof have good CRF antagonist activity.
