US Patent:

7164021, Jan 16, 2007

Filed:

Sep 18, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/665377

Inventors:

William J. Welsh - Princeton NJ, US
Seong Jae Yu - Pennington NJ, US
Anil Nair - Oro Valley AZ, US

Assignee:

The Curators of The University of Missouri - Columbia MO

International Classification:

C07D 471/02
C07D 471/08

US Classification:

546 44, 546 45, 546 46

Abstract:

Novel compounds which selectively bind to the δ-opioid receptor have been designed. These compounds have greater selectivity, improved water (blood) solubility, and enhanced therapeutic value as analgesics. Because agonists with selectivity for the δ-opioid receptor have shown promise in providing enhanced analgesis without the addictive properties, the compounds of the present invention are better than morphine, naltrindole (NTI), spiroindanyloxymorphone (SIOM), and other known μ-opioid receptor selectors as analgesics.
