Here we review the use of combinatorial libraries in opioid receptor assays. Following a brief description of the history of the combinatorial field, methods for the generation of synthetic libraries and the deconvolution of mixture-based libraries are presented. Case studies involving opioid assays

The elaboration of a pharmacophore model for the β¦ opioid receptor selective ligand JOM-13 (Tyr-c[D-Cys-Phe-D-Pen]OH) and the parallel, independent development of a structural model of the β¦ receptor are summarized. Although the backbone conformation of JOM-13's tripeptide cycle is well defined, con
The discovery of endogenous opioid peptides 25 years ago opened up a new chapter in efforts to understand the origins and control of pain, its relationships to other biological functions, including inflammatory and other immune responses, and the relationships of opioid peptides and their receptors
Significant advances have been made in understanding the structure, function, and regulation of opioid receptors and endogenous opioid peptides since their discovery approximately 25 years ago. This review summarizes recent studies aimed at identifying key amino acids that confer ligand selectivity
Previous data obtained with the cloned rat Β΅ opioid receptor demonstrated that the ''super-potent'' opiates, ohmefentanyl (RTI-4614-4) and its four enantiomers, differ in binding affinity, potency, efficacy, and intrinsic efficacy. Molecular modeling (Tang et al., 1996) of fentanyl derivatives bindi
