These compounds, formally derived from SNC-80 (2) by replacing the piperazine ring with a piperidine ring containing an exocyclic carbon carbon double bond, were found to bind with high affinity and exhibit excellent selectivity for the delta opioid receptor as full agonists. 6a, the simplest structure in the class, exhibited an IC (50) = 0.87 nM for the delta opioid receptors and extremely high selectivity over the mu receptors (mu/delta = 4370) and the kappa receptors (kappa/delta = 8590).

J Med Chem. 2000 Oct 19;43(21):3878-94.

Further structural modifications on the basis of 1 confirmed the importance of the N, N-diethylbenzamide group and the piperazine lower basic nitrogen for delta binding, in agreement with mutagenesis data.

To discover novel delta-opioid receptor ligands derived from SNC80 (1), a series of 6,8-diazabicyclo [3.2.2] nonane derivatives bearing two aromatic moieties was prepared, and the affinity toward delta, mu, and kappa receptors, as well as sigma receptors, was investigated.

It was shown that high-affinity, fully efficacious, and delta opioid receptor-selective compounds can be obtained from this transposition.
Additionally, it was discovered that the somewhat lower mu/delta selectivities observed for the piperidine compounds relative to the piperazine-based ligands appear to arise as a consequence of the carbon-nitrogen transposition which imparts an overall lower delta and higher mu affinity to the piperidine-based ligands.
