标题：Development of κ Opioid Receptor Agonists by Focusing on Phenyl Substituents of 4-Dimethylamino-3-phenylpiperidine Derivatives: Structure–Activity Relationship Study of Matrine Type Alkaloids
摘要：A series of new κ opioid receptor (KOR) agonists were developed from the lead compound 4-dimethylamino-1-pentanoylpiperidine ( 3 ), a matrine-type alkaloid. Derivatives of 3 were synthesized with a variety of phenyl substituents and evaluated for their antinociceptive effects. Additionally, their selectivity for an opioid receptor was investigated for cis - 4c and d , and trans - 4g , all of which had high activity exerted through the KOR.
