Ring constrained analogues of the orvinols: the furanomorphides

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Mar 22;9(6):831-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00085-2.

Abstract

A series of furanomorphides were synthesised as ring-constrained analogues of buprenorphine and related orvinols. Evaluation in binding and functional assays has shown that the furanomorphides have reduced efficacy at the mu opioid receptor compared to the orvinols.
