4-[(8-alkyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl-3-yl)-3-arylanilino]-N,N-diethylbenzamides: High affinity, selective ligands for the delta opioid receptor illustrate factors important to antagonist activity
Jb. Thomas et al., 4-[(8-alkyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl-3-yl)-3-arylanilino]-N,N-diethylbenzamides: High affinity, selective ligands for the delta opioid receptor illustrate factors important to antagonist activity, BIOORG MED, 10(11), 2000, pp. 1281-1284
The tropane derived compounds, 4-[(8-alkyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl-3-yl)-3
-arylanilino]-N,N-diethylbenzamides (5a-d), were synthesized and found to h
ave high affinity and selectivity for the delta receptor. Compounds 5a-d ar
e structurally similar to the full agonist (-)-RTI-5989-54 (3); yet, effica
cy studies for compounds in this series (5a-d) reveal greatly diminished ag
onist activity as well as antagonism not found in piperidine-based compound
