We characterized TRK-130 (N-[(5R,6R,14S)-17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan-6-yl]phthalimide; naltalimide), an opioid ligand, to clarify the therapeutic potential for overactive bladder (OAB). In radioligand-binding assays with cells expressing human µ-opioid receptors (MORs), δ-opioid receptors (DORs), or κ-opioid receptors (KORs), TRK-130 showed high selectivity for MORs
