Application

5′-Guanidinonaltrindole di(trifluoroacetate) salt hydrate (GNTI) has been used as a selective κ opioid receptor antagonist:
  • to study the influence of opioid receptor types on the anti-hyperalgesic effect of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors in inflammation
  • to study the role of κ opioid receptor in the forebrain-dependent associative task, Whisker-Trace Eyeblink conditioning (WTEB)
  • to validate its inhibitory actions on Akt kinase activities

Biochem/physiol Actions

5′-Guanidinonaltrindole di(trifluoroacetate) (GNTI) is a 5‘-guanidine derivative and a selective κ opiate receptor antagonist. It is five-fold more potent and 500-fold more selective than norbinaltorphimine (nor-BNI) for the κ opioid receptor in smooth muscle preparations.

The indole moiety in the delta-opioid antagonist, naltrindole (2, NTI), was employed as a scaffold to hold an "address" for interaction with the kappa-opioid receptor. The attachment of the address to the 5'-position of the indole moiety was based on

5'-Guanidinonaltrindole (GNTI) possesses 5-fold greater opioid antagonist potency (K(e)=0.04 nM) and an order of magnitude greater selectivity (selectivity ratios >500) than the prototypical kappa-opioid receptor antagonist, norbinaltorphimine, in smooth muscle preparations. Binding and functional studies conducted on cloned human opioid
