Geometric parameters as a criterion for assessment of the bioactive conformations of opiate receptor ligands

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The mutual positions of the phenyl fragment and the protonated amino group in the molecules of opiate receptor ligands of various structural classes were studied. It was concluded that two bioactive ligand conformations exist and their implementation does not depend on the structural class of the ligand, selectivity of its action on receptors, or relationship between the agonistic and antagonistic properties. A set of geometric parameters describing the three-dimensional arrangement of the phenyl fragment and the protonated amino group in bioactive conformations was proposed; this can be used as a criterion for the geometric assessment of the opiate activity.
