Redefining the structure-activity relationships of 2,6-methano-3-benzazocines. Part 7: syntheses and opioid receptor properties of cyclic variants of cyclazocine.

摘要

A series of 7,8- and 8,9-fused triazole and imidazole analogues of cyclazocine have been made and characterized in opioid receptor binding and [(35)S]GTPgammaS assays. Target compounds were designed to explore the SAR surrounding our lead molecule for this study, namely the 8,9-fused pyrrolo analogue 2 of cyclazocine. Compared to 2, many of the new compounds in this study displayed very high affinity for opioid receptors.
