title: Interactions of N-cyclopropylmethyl(-)-6 beta-acetylthionormorphine with mu-, kappa-, delta- and sigma-opioid receptors.
abstract: 1. Affinities of N-cyclopropylmethyl(-)-6 beta-acetylthionormorphine (KT-90) to mu-, kappa-, delta- and sigma-receptors were tested in rat brain membrane fractions using radioligand-receptor assays. 2. Though KT-90 had nonselectively high affinities to mu-, kappa- and delta-receptors, affinity of KT-90 to sigma-receptors was lower than those to the other three receptors. 3. Affinity of KT-90 to sigma-receptors was 1000 times lower than that of buprenorphine.
