Abstract
New 4-anilidopiperidine analogues in which the phenethyl group of fentanyl was replaced by several aromatic ring-contained amino acids (or acids) were synthesized to study the biological effect of the substituents on μ and δ opioid receptor interactions. These analogues showed broad (47 nM-76 μM) but selective (up to 17-fold) binding affinities at the μ opioid receptor over the δ opioid receptor, as predicted from the message-address concept.
