title: Ring constrained analogues of the orvinols: the furanomorphides.
abstract: A series of furanomorphides were synthesised as ring-constrained analogues of buprenorphine and related orvinols. Evaluation in binding and functional assays has shown that the furanomorphides have reduced efficacy at the mu opioid receptor compared to the orvinols.
