Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Selective, non-peptide antagonists of the mu opioid receptor (MOR) and methods of their use are provided. The antagonists may be used, for example, to identify MOR agonists in competitive binding assays, and to treat conditions related to addiction in which MOR is involved, e.g. heroin, prescription drug and alcohol addiction, as well as in the treatment of opioid induced constipation (OIC).
