Problems solved by technology

Morphine has been found to be different from other agonists such as methadone and fentanyl in that it binds to receptors and triggers a cellular response resulting in analgesia, but it does not induce endocytosis like other agonists

Embodiment 1

[0201] Example 1. Leu-hydrocodone

[0202] Reagent MW weight mmol Molar equivalent 1. Hydrocodone 299 1.00g 3.34 1.0 1. LiN(TMS) 2 , in THF 1M 10.5ml 10.5 3.15 1. THF - 25ml - - 2. Boc-Leu-OSu 328 3.28g 10.0 3.0

[0203] Addition of LiN(TMS) to hydrocodone in THF via syringe 2 of THF solution. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes, then Boc-Leu-OSu was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction was neutralized to pH 7 with 6M HCl. Solvent was removed. The crude product was dissolved in CHCl 3 (100ml), washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (3 x 100ml), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed. Solid collected as yellow powder (1.98 g, 95% yield): 1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6 )δ 0.86(dd, 6H), 1.31(s, 9H), 1.46(s, 2H), 1.55(m, 2H), 1.69(m, 1H), 1.87(dt, 1H), 2.07(dt, 2H) , 2.29(s, 3H), 2.43(m, 2H), 2.93(d, 1H), 3.11(s, 1H), 3...

Embodiment 2

[0206] Example 2. Example of a conjugate containing two different amino acids: Ala-Pro-Hydrocodone

[0207] Reagent MW weight mmol Molar equivalent Pro-Hydrocodone 468 0.25g 0.53 1.0 Boc-Leu-OSu 286 0.33g 1.2 2.26 NMM 101 0.50ml 5.38 10.2 DMF - 10ml - -

[0208] To a solution of Pro-hydrocodone in DMF was added NMM followed by Boc-Ala-OSu. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Solvent was removed. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (Phenomenex Luna C18, 30×250 mm, 5 μM, 100 ; gradient elution: 100 water / 00.1% TFA-MeCN → 0 / 100; 30ml / min.). Solid collected as light yellow powder (0.307 g, 85% yield): 1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6 )δ 1.16(d, 3H), 1.35(s, 9H), 1.51(m, 2H), 1.86-2.10(m, 6H), 2.50(m, 1H), 2.54(m, 1H), 2.69(m, 1H), 2.88(s, 3H), 3.02(dd, 1H), 3.26(d, 1H), 3.55(m, 1H), 3.67(m, 1H), 3.72(s, 3H), 3.80(s, 1H ), 4.25(m, 1H), 4.43(d, 1H), 5.01(s, 1H), 5.59(d, 1H), 6.75(d, 1H), 6.88(d,...

Embodiment 3

[0210] Example 3. Example of a conjugate containing two identical amino acids: Glu-Glu-Hydrocodone

[0211] Glu-Glu-hydrocodone was prepared according to the similar method of Example 2, but the amino acid raw material was Boc-Glu(OtBu)-OSu, and the conjugate raw material was Glu-hydrocodone.

[0212] tripeptide hydrocodone conjugate

Abstract

The invention generally relates to compositions and methods with covalently bound compounds, such as controlled substances covalently attached to a chemical moiety, and opioid antagonists or covalently bound opioid antagonists to enhance analgesic potency and / or attenuate one or more adverse effects of covalently bound compounds, including adverse side effect(s) in humans such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, sedation (somnolence), physical dependence or pruritis. This invention relates to compositions and methods for selectively enhancing the analgesic potency of a covalently bound compound and simultaneously attenuating anti-analgesia, hyperalgesia, hyperexcitability, physical dependence and / or tolerance effects associated with the administration of a covalently bound compound. The methods of the invention comprise administering to a subject an analgesic or sub-analgesic amount of a covalently bound compound and an amount of excitatory opioid receptor antagonist such as naltrexone or nalmefene effective to enhance the analgesic potency of a covalently bound compound and attenuate the anti-analgesia, hyperalgesia, hyperexcitability, physical dependence and / or tolerance effects of covalently bound compound. The invention also relates to the addition of covalently-bound opioid antagonists to the compositions containing covalently bound compounds such that if the compositions are subjected to manipulation by illicit chemists, the opioid antagonist is released effectively reducing or eliminating the euphoric effect of the covalently bound compounds.
