Abstract: The present invention concerns the compounds of formula (I), the N-oxide forms, the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, wherein m represents an integer from 1 to 3; X represents amino, hydroxy, -oxo or -Z-R1; Y is absent when X represents -Z-R1 and —(C?O)—R6 when X represents oxo; Z represents carbonyl, -oxy-carbonyl- or —NR5-carbonyl-; R1 represents C1-4alkyl, Ar1, Ar1—C1-4alkyl-, —NR3R4 or -Het1; R2 represents hydrogen, halo, nitro, hydroxycarbonyl-, C1-4alkyloxy or C1-4alkyl; R3 and R4 are each independently selected from hydrogen, Ar3 or C1-4alkyl; R5 represents hydrogen, C1-4alkylcarbonyl- or Ar4-carbonyl-; R6 represents a substituent selected from the group consisting of C1-4alkyl, Ar5, Ar6—C1-4alkyl- or NR7R8; R7 and R8 are each independently selected from hydrogen, Het4 or C1-4alkyl; Het1 represents a heterocycle selected from oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, imidazolyl or pyrazolyl wherein said heterocycle is optionally substituted with one, two or three s

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an antagonist against CRF receptors which is effective as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for diseases in which CRF is considered to be involved, such as depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's chorea, eating disorder, hypertension, gastric diseases, drug dependence, epilepsy, cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia, cerebral edema, cephalic external wound, inflammation, immunity-related diseases, alopecia, irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disorders, epilepsy, dermatitides, schizophrenia, etc. [Solution] A pyrrolopyrimidine or pyrrolopyridine derivative substituted with a cyclic amino group represented by the following formula [I]: has a high affinity for CRF receptors and is effective against diseases in which CRF is considered to be involved.
