In vitro CRF1 binding, cAMP and ACTH assays; CRF- and stress-induced ACTH inhibition in normal rats
“These studies demonstrated that crinecerfont inhibits CRF1 receptors and antagonizes CRF-induced cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) synthesis and ACTH secretion from pituitary, and blocks stress-induced increases in ACTH in rats (Table 99).”
