Abstract: The invention provides compounds that bind with high affinities to the ?-, ?- and ?-opioid receptors and ?2-adrenoreceptor. In addition to providing these compounds with novel pharmacological binding properties, the invention also describes detailed novel methods for the preparation of representative compounds and a scheme for the synthesis of related compounds that bind to the opioid receptors and/or ?2-adrenoreceptor.
