Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Apr 1;23(7):2052-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.02.009. Epub 2013 Feb 13.

Abstract

A series of pyrazinones were prepared and evaluated as potential CRF(1)R PET imaging agents. Optimization of their CRF(1)R binding potencies and octanol-phosphate buffer phase distribution coefficients are discussed herein.
