Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-amino-3-phenylpropionamide derivatives as novel mu opioid receptor ligands

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Mar 20;10(6):523-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00034-2.

Abstract

3-Amino-3-phenylpropionamide derivatives were produced as small molecule mimics of the cyclic octapeptide octreotide from readily available imine 1. The compounds exhibit high affinity for the mu opioid receptor.
