Synthesis and Pharmacology of a Novel κ Opioid Receptor (KOR) Agonist with a 1,3,5-Trioxazatriquinane Skeleton
Abstract

We designed and synthesized the 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane derivatives with m-hydroxyphenyl groups. These compounds include the phenethylamine structure within them, which is a common structure observed in morphinan derivatives like morphine. Among the synthesized compounds, (−)-8c with two m-hydroxyphenyl groups selectively bound and exerted full agonist activity toward the κ opioid receptor (KOR). Subcutaneously administered (−)-8c exhibited significant antinociceptive effects via the KOR in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest the emergence of a novel class of KOR agonist.
