Abstract excerpt
To characterize delta- and kappa-opioid receptor phenotypes, bivalent ligands (KDAN series) containing delta-antagonist (naltrindole) and kappa(1)-agonist (ICI-199,441) pharmacophores were synthesized and evaluated by the intrathecal route using the mouse tail-flick assay and binding studies. The data have suggested that KDAN-18 (2) bridges phenotypic delta(2)- and kappa(1)-receptors. A conceptual model is...
