Storage:Desiccate at +4°C

Biologieal

Selective, non-peptide CRF₁ receptor antagonist (K_i values are 2.7 and > 10000 nM for CRF₁ and CRF₂ receptors respectively). Blocks CRF-induced adenylate cyclase activation (K_i = 3.7 nM) and attenuates activation of the HPA axis by CRF. Displays anxiolytic-like activity in the rat elevated plus-maze test; brain penetrant.
