title: 14-Desoxy analogues of naltrindole and 7-spiroindanyloxymorphone: the role of the 14-hydroxy group at delta opioid receptors.
abstract: The 14-hydroxy group is known to increase the antagonist potency of mu-selective opioid ligands. To investigate the role of this group at the delta opioid receptor, the 14-desoxy analogues (7 and 9) of the delta-selective ligands, naltrindole (1, NTI) and spiroindanyloxymorphone (2, SIOM), have been synthesized and tested. The in vitro pharmacologic activities of 7 and 9 suggest that the 14-hydroxy group plays an important role in determining the delta selectivity and potency of NTI and SIOM.
