Abstract

A series of 14β-alkyl- and 14β-alkenyl-5β-methylindolomorphinans was synthesized and evaluated in opioid binding and functional assays. While being relatively nonselective in binding assays, the 14-cinnamyl and 14-isopentyl members showed selective opioid δ-receptor partial agonist activity in [35S]GTPγS assays.
