LIGANDS OF THE MU, KAPPA, AND DELTA OPIOID RECEPTORS

摘要

Ligands of the mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors and methods of using them are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to the discovery of new opioid receptor ligands based on molecular dynamics simulations of conformational states of the μ opioid receptor and the use of the identified opioid receptor ligands as analgesics, anti-diarrheal agents, and overdose reversal agents.
