title = "Potent, orally bioavailable delta opioid receptor agonists for the treatment of pain: Discovery of N,N-diethyl-4-(5-hydroxyspiro-[chromene-2, 4′-piperidine]-4-yl)benzamide (ADL5859)",
abstract = "Selective δ opioid receptor agonists are promising potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of various types of pain conditions. A spirocyclic derivative was identified as a promising hit through screening. Subsequent lead optimization identified compound 20 (ADL5859) as a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable δ agonist. Compound 20 was selected as a clinical candidate for the treatment of pain.",
