In looking for a novel achiral μ opioid receptor antagonist for the treatment of pruritus, we designed and synthesised azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane compounds as a new class of opioid ligand. During optimisation, an addition of a single methyl resulted in a 35-fold improvement in binding. An early example from the series had excellent μ opioid receptor antagonist antagonist activity and was very effective in an in vivo pruritus study.
在寻找一种新型非手性 μ 阿片受体拮抗剂以治疗瘙痒症时,我们设计并合成了氮杂双环[3.1.0]己烷类化合物作为一类新型阿片类配体。在优化过程中,增加一个甲基可使结合活性提高 35 倍。该系列的早期实例具有优异的 μ 阿片受体拮抗剂拮抗活性,在体内瘙痒研究中非常有效。
