803this is (+)-synclinal in the title compound. However, in classical 6,7-benzomorphans, conformations are restricted to the range between antiperiplanar and (-)-synclinal due to the unfavourable interactions between the C(3) and C(13) methylenes. Accordingly the C (13) methylene of the title compound occupies a volume that is normally free. It is conceivable that this volume exceeds the local boundaries of the receptor, thus leading to a global misalignment of the drug molecule. In this way, O(14) will be unable to form a hydrogen bond to the hypothetical common binding moiety in the receptor responsible for x-opioid activity. The rather promising results from a fit between the title compound and ketazocine in free space thus make little sense in the physical environment of the receptor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
