Abstract

trans-3,4-Dimethyl-4-(3-carboxamidophenyl)piperidines constitute a novel class of μ opioid receptor antagonists. The CONH2 group was found to be an effective isostere of the phenolic OH moiety. Structure-activity relationships at the piperidine nitrogen position led to the identification of several ligands displaying high affinity toward the cloned human μ opioid receptors, good selectivity μ/δ, μ/κ, and potent in vitro antagonist activity.
