Abstract
Five [D-Ala2, D-Leu55]enkephalin (DADLE) analogs containing fluorinated Tyr1 or Phe4 residue, that is, [Phe(2F)4] (I), [Phe(3F)4] (II), [Phe(4F)4] (III), [Tyr(3F)1] (IV) and [Tyr(2F)1] (V), were synthesized by the solid phase method and their opioid receptor affinities were examined. Affinity profiles of five derivatives for the mu- and delta-receptor were similar to those of DADLE, and the affinity for kappa-receptor was zero or negligible.
