Discovery of an opioid kappa receptor selective pure antagonist from a library of N-substituted 4beta-methyl-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)morphans

J Med Chem. 2002 Aug 1;45(16):3524-30. doi: 10.1021/jm020084h.

Abstract

A library of compounds biased toward opioid receptor antagonist activity was prepared by incorporating N-phenylpropyl-4beta-methyl-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)morphans as the core scaffold using simultaneous solution phase synthetic methodology. From this library, N-phenylpropyl-4beta-methyl-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-7alpha-[3-(1-piperidinyl)propanamido]morphan [(-)-3b] was identified as the first potent and selective kappa opioid receptor antagonist from the 5-phenylmorphan class of opioids.
