- Abstract
Initial high throughput screening efforts identified highly potent and selective kappa opioid receptor antagonist 3 (κ IC(50)=77 nM; μ:κ and δ:κ IC(50) ratios>400) which lacked CNS exposure in vivo. Modification of this scaffold resulted in development of a series of 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yloxy-benzamides showing potent and selectivity κ antagonism as well as good brain exposure. Analog 6c (κ IC(50)=20 nM; μ:κ=36, δ:κ=415) was also shown to reverse κ-agonist induced rat diuresis in vivo., (Copyright © 2010. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)
