CJ-15208 is a potent and selective κ-opioid receptor antagonist from a fungus, Ctenomyces serratus ATCC15502 (IC50 are 47 nM for kappa, 260 nM for mu, and 2,600 nM for delta respectly). In the electrically-stimulated twitch response assay of rabbit vas de
R-84760 is a κ-opioid receptor agonist. R-84760 produces an extremely potent antinociceptive effect against tonic pain through the kappa-opioid receptors; the sites of action of subcutaneously administered R-84760 are the supraspinal and spinal loci in th
Selective sigma (σ) receptor ligand. Displays high affinity for σ1; also binds at σ2 sites (Ki = 1.5 nM and 50.8 nM respectively). Selective over a range of receptor types including dopaminergic and muscarinic receptors, DAT and SERT.

Difelikefalin (CR-845; FE-202845) is a peripherally restricted, selective agonist of the kappa opioid receptor (KOR). It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and holds promise for modulating pruritus in conditions associated with chronic kidney disease.
4-Me-PDTic is a potent and selective Kappa Opioid Receptor Antagonist. 4-Me-PDTic had a Ke = 0.37 nM in a [35S]GTPγS binding assay and was 645- and >8100-fold selective for the κ relative to the μ and δ opioid receptors, respectively. Calculated logBB and CNS (central nervous system) multiparameter optimization (MPO) and low molecular weight values all predict that 4-Me-PDTic will penetrate the brain and pharmacokinetic studies in rats shows that 4-Me-PDTic does indeed penetrate the brain.
