More recently, other non-peptide antagonists have been described: p, a tetrahydroquinoline sulphonamide derivative, with high selectivity for the rat and human Avpr1b (Kis approximately 21 nM and 44 nM, respectively) (Scott et al. 2009), and compounds generated from a series of pyrrole-pyrazinone and pyrazole-pyrazinone derivatives which also appear to show good selectivity and high potency (e.g., compound 11 pIC50 = 8.4) for the human Avpr1b expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (Arban et al. 2010)to our knowledge the effects of these compounds on HPA axis activity or behaviour have not been reported to date.
