The present invention provides (+)-morphinans comprising Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) antagonist activity, as well as a method for identifying (+)-morphinans that may be therapeutically effective by determining whether the (+)-morphinan inhibits the activation of TLR9. Also provided are methods of using the (+)-morphinans comprising TLR9 antagonist activity to treat conditions such as traumatic pain, neuropathic pain, inflammatory disorders, acetaminophen toxicity, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
