A systematic review on the kappa opioid receptor and its ligands: New directions for the treatment of pain, anxiety, depression, and drug abuse
2022, European Journal of Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Due to its high selectivity and potency on KOR, salvinorin A is known to produce hallucinatory side effects that are characterized by vivid visions with eyes closed, changes in perception of dimensionality and time, and a complete blockage of external stimuli [69]. However, these side effects usually only last ∼10–15 min [69] because the C2 ester in the structure of salvinorin A quickly undergoes hydrolysis to yield the inactive metabolite salvinorin B. Nevertheless, salvinorin A has been used as an important prototype for the development of related drug candidates targeting different opioid receptors [13,70–79]. Since the short-acting activity of salvinorin A has hindered its clinical utility, many efforts have been made to extend its half-life by replacing the ester at C2 with more stable functional groups such as carbamates, ethers, and amides [70].
A review of salvinorin analogs and their kappa-opioid receptor activity
2018, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry LettersCitation Excerpt :Some of the earliest analogs include alkyl esters. Propionate 2 demonstrates up to a 5-fold loss in affinity (one report shows its Ki as comparable to SalA) and a 3.5–7.5-fold drop in activity.33,35–37 Further increases in size result in further losses: isopropyl ester 3 loses affinity 10-fold37 while tert-butyl ester 4 is inactive.36
