Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the first trans-(3R,4R)- dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine derivative to possess highly potent and selective opioid kappa receptor antagonist activity.

TL;DR: A structurally novel opioid kappa receptor selective ligand has been identified and demonstrated high affinity and highly potent and selective kappa antagonism in the [(35)S]GTP-gamma-S assay using cloned opioid receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of an opioid kappa receptor subtype-selective N-substituent for (+)-(3R,4R)-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine

TL;DR: According to its ability to inhibit agonist stimulated binding of [35S]GTPgammaS at all three opioid receptors, compound 8 behaves as a mu/kappa opioid receptor pure antagonist with negligible affinity for the delta receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of the N-Substituent Conformation Governing Potency and μ Receptor Subtype-Selectivity in (+)-(3R,4R)-Dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)- piperidine Opioid Antagonists

TL;DR: It is found that free rotation of the phenyl ring is necessary for high affinity binding and mu receptor subtype selectivity as the planar N-substituted thianaphthylmethyl and benzofuranylmethyl compounds 13 and 14 had significantly lower binding affinities.
