Arylacetamides as peripherally restricted kappa opioid receptor agonists.
Analogues of the kappa (kappa) opioid receptor agonist, ICI 199441, were prepared. Ki values for these analogues at the cloned human kappa opioid receptor ranged from 0.058 to 25 nM. Trifluoromethylaryl derivatives were potent analgesics when administered subcutaneously in the rat and were more peripherally restricted than the parent compound, ICI 199441.
