Topographical design of the message domain pharmacophore of the delta opioid agonists using designer amino acids and design of non-peptide ligand for opioid receptors.

A series of highly constrained tyrosine derivatives, 2',6'-dimethyl- β-methyltyrosines (TMTs), was designed and asymmetrically synthesized. Incorporation of the TMT isomers into peptide agonists of δ opioid receptors provide analogues that are highly potent and selectively for δ opioid rec...
