Abstract

The 14-hydroxy group is known to increase the antagonist potency of μ- selective opioid ligands. To investigate the role of this group at the δ opioid receptor, the 14-desoxy analogues (7 and 9) of the δ-selective ligands, naltrindole (1, NT1) and spiroindanyloxymorphone (2, SIOM), have been synthesized and tested. The in vitro pharmacologic activities of 7 and 9 suggest that the 14-hydroxy group plays an important role in determining the δ selectivity and potency of NT1 and SIOM.
