KOR agonist 8
KOR agonist 8 (Compound 8a) is a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist and an analgesic agent, with a Ki value of 5.3 nM for human KOR, and EC50 values of 43.1 nM and 9236 nM for human KOR. It exhibits subtype selectivity for MOR/KOR and DOR/KOR. KOR agonist 8 is applicable for pain-related research.

Biological Activity
KOR agonist 8 (Compound 8a) (30 min) displays high, selective binding affinity for KOR in CHO cell membranes, with a Ki of 5.3 nM and over 100-fold selectivity over MOR and DOR[1].
KOR agonist 8 (Compound 8a) (15 min) potently inhibits cAMP production via KOR activation in HEK293-hKOR-GloSensor cells, with an EC50 of 43.1 nM, indicating strong G protein signaling efficacy[1].
KOR agonist 8 (Compound 8a) (17 h) exhibits very low potency for β-arrestin recruitment via KOR in HTLA cells, with an EC50 of 9236 nM, leading to >200-fold functional selectivity for G protein signaling[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
KOR agonist 8 (0.2-2 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) exhibits dose-dependent antinociceptive activity in the mouse abdominal constriction test, with an ED50 of 0.5 mg/kg (i.p.) at 3 hours post-administration[1].
KOR agonist 8 (2-105 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) induces dose-dependent motor impairment in the mouse rotarod test, with effects ranging from slight impairment at 2 mg/kg to pronounced impairment at doses up to 105 mg/kg (i.p.)[1].
Compound 8a (20 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly reduces novelty-induced locomotor activity in mice during two post-administration intervals[1].
Compound 8a (20 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) induces significant conditioned place aversion in mice at both 1 hour and 3 hours post-administration[1].
