Synthesis, opioid receptor binding, and functional activity of 5'-substituted 17-cyclopropylmethylpyrido[2',3':6,7]morphinans

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Feb 10;13(3):529-32. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00934-4.

Abstract

A series of naltrexone-derived pyridomorphinans possessing various substituents at the 5'-position on the pyridine ring were synthesized and evaluated for opioid receptor binding in rodent brain membranes and functional activity in smooth muscle preparations. While the introduction of aromatic 1-pyrrolyl group (6h) improved the delta affinity and delta antagonist potency of the parent compound (3), the introduction of guanidine group (6i) transformed it to a kappa selective ligand in opioid receptor binding and [35S]GTP-gamma-S functional assays.
