Short-acting μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists have long been used for the treatment of severe, breakthrough pain. However, selective MOR agonists including fentanyl and morphine derivatives are limited clinically due to high risks of dependence, tolerance, and respiratory depression. We recently reported the development of a long-acting, bifunctional MOR agonist/δ-opioid receptor (DOR) antagonist analgesic
短效μ阿片受体(MOR)激动剂长期以来一直用于治疗严重的突破性疼痛。然而,由于依赖性,耐受性和呼吸抑制的高风险,包括芬太尼和吗啡衍生物在内的选择性MOR激动剂在临床上受到限制。我们最近报道了在小鼠中缺乏耐受性或依赖性的长效,双功能MOR激动剂/δ阿片受体(DOR)拮抗剂镇痛剂的开发(AAH8,此后称为2B)。为了满足对突破性疼痛的短效治疗的需求,我们提出了一系列在体内具有抗伤害感受活性的新型,短效,高效MOR激动剂/ DOR拮抗剂配体。在这项研究中,我们利用二维结构-活性关系矩阵来确定可归因于化学型内两个关键药效基团元素组合的药理趋势。这项工作增强了我们调节MOR和DOR功效的能力,可访问多种双功能谱,同时在两个受体上均保持高亲和力和效力。
