Abstract

A series of N-substituted trans-3,4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidines, mu Opioid Receptor antagonists, analogs of alvimopan, were prepared using solid phase methodology. This study led to the identification of a highly selective mu Opioid Receptor Antagonist, which interacts selectively with mu peripheral receptors.
