Based on increased affinity and selectivity of dimeric enkephalin analogs for opioid receptors, divalent interactions have been demonstrated between opioid peptides and receptors. To explore the receptor multivalency suggested by fluorescent microscopic s

Two 4-ethoxycarbonyl thiazoyly groups were introduced into 2- and 5- positions of 3-hydroxypyridine in 8 steps using 5-cyano-3-hydroxypyridine (2) as the starting material. The pyridine derivative obtained in the last step was converted to a fragment. A derivative (21) by stepwise introduction of the 2-substituted 4-thiazolyl group into the 6-position. The total yield for the formation of 21 via 14 steps was 7.6%.

The S-(3-nitro-2-pyridylthio) (Npys) group only reacts with a free mercapto group to form a disulfide bond. A series of morphiceptin analogs containing SNpys-cysteine were designed and synthesized for specific affinity-labeling of μ opioid receptors. Affi
