The invention relates to synthetic peptide amides that are ligands of the kappa opioid receptor and particularly to agonists of the kappa opioid receptor that exhibit low P
450
CYP inhibition and low penetration into the brain. The synthetic peptide amides of the invention conform to the structure:
wherein Xaa is a D-amino acid and G is selected from the following three groups:
The compounds are useful in the prophylaxis and treatment of pain, pruritus and inflammation associated with a variety of diseases and conditions.
本发明涉及合成的肽酰胺,它们是kappa阿片受体的
配体,特别是kappa阿片受体的激动剂,表现出低的P450CYP抑制和低的进入大脑的能力。本发明的合成肽酰胺符合以下结构:其中Xaa是D-
氨基酸,G选择自以下三个组:这些化合物在预防和治疗与各种疾病和情况相关的疼痛、瘙痒和炎症方面非常有用。
