Abstract
A series of enantiomeric N-substituted 2,3,4,4a,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinolines was synthesized. The (-)-enantiomers had much greater kappa-, mu-, and delta-opioid receptor binding affinity than the corresponding (+)-enantiomers. Compounds (-)-1a, (-)-1b, and (-)-1c displayed subnanomolar binding affinity for the mu-receptor, and (-)-1b had a high affinity for the kappa-receptor. Compound (-)-1a was a mu-partial agonist and kappa-antagonist. Compound (-)-1b was a potent neutral mu-antagonist (K(d) = 0.22 nM) and a kappa-partial agonist.
