pubmed-article:10866400 | pubmed:abstractText | The tropane derived compounds, 4-[(8-alkyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl-3-yl)-3-arylanilino]-N,N-d iethylbenzamides (5a-d), were synthesized and found to have high affinity and selectivity for the delta receptor. Compounds 5a-d are structurally similar to the full agonist (-)-RTI-5989-54 (3); yet, efficacy studies for compounds in this series (5a-d) reveal greatly diminished agonist activity as well as antagonism not found in piperidine-based compounds like 3. | lld:pubmed |
