Abstrakt: In an effort to expand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a series of mixed-efficacy opioid ligands, peptidomimetics that incorporate methoxy and hydroxy groups around a benzyl or 2-methylindanyl pendant on a tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) core of the peptidomimetics were evaluated. Compounds containing a methoxy or hydroxy moiety in the o- or m-positions increased binding affinity to the kappa opioid receptor (KOR), whereas compounds containing methoxy or hydroxy groups in the p-position decreased KOR affinity and reduced or eliminated efficacy at the mu opioid receptor (MOR). The results from a substituted 2-methylindanyl series aligned with the findings from the substituted benzyl series. Our studies culminated in the development of 8c, a mixed-efficacy MOR agonist/KOR agonist with subnanomolar binding affinity for both MOR and KOR.
