Syntheses of Pentacyclic Morphinan Analogs [PDF]
The synthesis of a series of morphinans with an additional aromatic or alicyclic ring fused to the 5,6 positions or an alicyclic ring fused to the 16,17 positions is described. The synthetic sequence involved elaboration of a 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrobenz[f]isoquinoline or a quinolizidine, Grewe cyclization to a morphinan, and modification of the ...

The 5-(3-hydroxy)phenylmorphan structural class of compounds are unlike the classical morphinans, 4,5-epoxymorphinans, and 6,7-benzomorphans, in that they have an equatorially oriented aromatic ring rather than the axial orientation of that ring found in

Preliminary Pharmacological Evaluation of Enantiomeric Morphinans
A series of levo- and dextromorphinan pairs have been synthesized and evaluated for their affinities to the mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) channel, and sigma 1 and 2 receptors. It was found that levo isomers tended to have higher affinities at the opioid receptors and moderate to high affinities to the NMDA and ...

The first synthesis of 3-deoxyoripavine and its utilization in the preparation of 10-deoxyaporphines and cyprodime [PDF]
The synthesis of 3-deoxyoripavine (7) was realized as a novel and promising intermediate towards the synthesis of the important class of dopaminergic and/or serotonergic 10- deoxyaporphines and the special pharmacological tool µ opioid antagonist ...

Carfentanil is a β‐arrestin‐biased agonist at the μ opioid receptor
Abstract Background and Purpose The illicit use of fentanyl‐like drugs (fentanyls), which are μ opioid receptor agonists, and the many overdose deaths that result, has become a major problem. Fentanyls are very potent in vivo, leading to respiratory depression and death.
