ChemInform Abstract
Employing energy calculations the two title compounds are designed and their structures studied by homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The compounds are tested for their binding to . delta.-, μ-, and ϰ-opioid receptors. The solution conformations are compared to their suggested δ-receptor-bound conformers.
