Abstract:
A recognition pharmacophore for the delta opioid receptor was developed de novo. Through the use of the pharmacophore and a novel four-point recognition model, major differences were observed between oxymorphindole and SNC80. This work suggests that these two classes of delta selective opioids do not bind to the delta opioid receptor in the same orientation.
