Identification of 1-Arylmethyl-3- (2-aminoethyl)-5-aryluracil as Novel Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Antagonists

Abstract
Based on SAR from bicyclic GnRH antagonists such as 6-aminomethyl-7-arylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimid-4-ones (1) and 2-aryl-3-aminomethylimidazolo[1,2-a]pyrimid-5-ones (2a,b), a series of novel uracil compounds (4) were derived as the GnRH antagonists. Their syntheses and initial SAR are discussed herein. This is the first time that monocycle-based GnRH receptor antagonists are reported.
