Also, shameless plug for our most recent paper that was part of this Special Issue where we explore the structure-activity relationship of akuammicine leading to the discovery of a new class of potent kappa opioid agonists: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Discovery of Potent Kappa Opioid Receptor Agonists Derived from Akuammicine
Akuammicine (1), an alkaloid isolated from Picralima nitida, is an agonist of the kappa opioid receptor (κOR). To establish structure–activity relationships (SARs) for this structurally unique κOR lig...
