SNC-80
SNC-80
is an
opioid analgesic
drug
that selectively activates
μ–δ opioid receptor
heteromers
and is used in
scientific research
. It was
discovered
in
1994
.
SNC-80 was the first
non-peptide
drug developed that was regarded as a
highly
selective agonist
for the
δ-opioid receptor
.
It has been
shown
to
produce
useful
analgesic
,
antidepressant
and
anxiolytic
effects
in
animal studies
, but its
usefulness
is
limited
by
producing
convulsions
at high
doses
, and so SNC-80 is not used
medically
, although it is a useful drug in
scientific
research
.
