Natural residues of the dimeric opioid peptide Biphalin were replaced by the corresponding homo-β3 amino acids. The derivative 1 containing hβ3 Phe in place of Phe showed good μ- and δ-receptor affinities (Kiδ = 0.72 nM; K iμ = 1.1 nM) and antinociceptive activity in vivo together with an increased enzymatic stability in human plasma.

Abstract

Natural residues of the dimeric opioid peptide Biphalin were replaced by the corresponding homo-β3 amino acids. The derivative 1 containing hβ3 Phe in place of Phe showed good μ- and δ-receptor affinities (Kiδ = 0.72 nM; K iμ = 1.1 nM) and antinociceptive activity in vivo together with an increased enzymatic stability in human plasma.
