OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSCrinecerfont is an antagonist of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 (CRF1; Ki = 1.9 nM).1 It is selective for CRF1 over CRF2α and a panel of 125 receptors, transporters, ion channels, and enzymes at 10 µM. Crinecerfont inhibits CRF-induced cAMP production in Y79 retinoblastoma cells (IC50 = 3 nM) and CRF-induced adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion in AtT-20 mouse pituitary tumor cells when used at concentrations of 3, 30, and 100 nM. In vivo, crinecerfont (10 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents restraint stress-induced increases in plasma ACTH levels in rats. It increases punished responding in the Vogel punished drinking task, indicating anxiolytic-like activity, in mice and decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in rats.2 Crinecerfont (30 mg/kg) decreases cumulative weight gain and increases protein gain in fa/fa obese but not lean rats.3 Formulations containing crinecerfont have been used as an adjunct to glucocorticoids in the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an inborn error of metabolism characterized by a deficiency in steroid 21-hydroxylase, also known as cytochrome P450 isoform 21 (CYP21).
