Abstract

A novel series of tetrahydroisoquinoline quaternary derivatives 4 were synthesized as peripheral κ-opioid receptor agonists. All the target compounds were evaluated in κ-opioid receptor binding assays, and compounds 4l, 4m, and 4n exhibited high affinity for κ-opioid receptor. Furthermore, compound 4l (κKi=0.94nM) produced potent antinociceptive activity in the mouse acetic acid-induced writhing assay, with lower sedative side effects than the parent compound MB-1c.
