Initial SAR studies on 1-aminomethyl-2-aryl-3-cyano-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimid-7-one-6-carboxylates as human GnRH receptor antagonists were discussed. 2-(2-Methylaminoethyl)pyridine was discovered to be a key feature for generating active compounds. The best compound from the series had 25 nM (K(i)) binding affinity to human GnRH receptor.

Analogues of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-(methylamino)-9H-purine (1) containing isosteric replacements of the imidazole ring atoms were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity. The pyrrolo[2,3-d]-, pyrazolo[3,4-d]-, and triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines were less active than 1 against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats when given po. The
