| abstract |
The invention provides for compounds having the structure according to the formula I wherein: X is a carbon or nitrogen atom; Ar is phenyl or heteroaromatic ring; R1 is hydrogen, halogen, CN or (1 C-4C)alkyl; R2 is hydrogen, halogen or optionally fluorinated (1 C-3C)alkoxy; R3 and R5 are independently hydrogen, optionally halogenated (1C- 4C)alkyl, optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkoxy, optionally halogenated aryl(1C-4C)alkoxy, optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkenyl or hydroxylmethyl; R4 is hydrogen, halogen, optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkoxy or optionally halogenated aryl(1 C-4C)alkoxy; R6 is hydrogen, benzyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogens or (1 C-4C)alkyl, or R6 is optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkyl; each R7 independently is hydrogen, halogen, optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkyl or optionally halogenated (1 C-4C)alkoxy and pharmaceutically suitable acid addition salts thereof for use as glucocorticoid receptor modulators, in particular for treatment of central nervous system disorders. |
