Abstract

Compound 1 obtained by random screening and displaying a micromolar activity on the μ opiate receptor was chosen as a starting point for optimization. Two complementary concepts of similarity were used for the design of analogues and compared. These are based, respectively, on a computer-aided comparison of pharmacophoric patterns and on topological similarity. The structure-activity relationships are discussed in light of both ...
