The dimethyltyrosine-tetrahydroisoquinoline (Dmt-Tiq) scaffold was originally developed in the production of selective delta opioid receptor (DOR) antagonists. Installation of a 7-benzyl pendant on the tetrahydroisoquinoline core of this classic opioid scaffold introduced kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonism. Further modification of this pendant resulted in retention of KOR agonism and the addition of mu opioid receptor (MOR) partial agonism, a bifunctional profile with potential to be used in the treatment of cocaine addiction.
二甲基酪氨酸-四氢异喹啉(Dmt-Tiq)骨架最初是在选择性 δ 阿片受体(DOR)拮抗剂的生产中开发的。在该经典阿片骨架的四氢异喹啉核心上安装 7-苄基侧链,引入 κ 阿片受体(KOR)激动作用。进一步修饰该侧链,保留了 KOR 激动作用,并增加了 μ 阿片受体(MOR)部分激动作用,形成一种具有治疗可卡因成瘾潜力的双功能特征。
