Synthesis and pharmacologic characterization of an alkylating analogue (chlornaltrexamine) of naltrexone with ultralong-lasting narcotic antagonist properties
Abstract
Chlornaltrexamine (CNA) produces ultralong-lasting (3--6 days) narcotic antagonism in mice and persistent stereospecific binding to rat-brain homogenate. Protection studies in mice suggest that CNA mediates its narcotic antagonist effects by interacting with the same receptors that are occupied by naloxone. A single icv dose of CNA also has been found to inhibit the development of physical dependence in mice for at least 3 days. These studies suggest that CNA exerts its sustained effects by selective covalent association with opioid receptors.
