Abstract

A model of the opiate receptor is proposed which explains structure activity relationships of opiate drugs, including (i) the unique potency of certain opiates such as etonitazene, fentanyl, phenazocine, and oripavines; (ii) the role of N allyl substituents in conferring antagonist properties; (iii) chemical features that afford 'pure' antagonists. The model indicates molecular mechanisms for interconversion of the opiate receptor between respective states that bind agonists or antagonists with high affinity.
