title: Synthesis of enantiomerically pure (+)- and (-)-18-methoxycoronaridine hydrochloride and their preliminary assessment as anti-addictive agents.
abstract: Chemical resolution of racemic 18-methoxycoronaridine (18-MC) was achieved by the formation of its diastereomeric sulfonamides with either (R)-(-)- or (S)-(+)-camphorsulfonyl chloride. Preliminary assessment of (+)-, (-)-, and (+/-)-18-MC x HCl showed similar effects on morphine self-administration in a rat model, and similar affinities at the kappa opioid receptors.
