High affinity binding for mu and kappa opioid receptors has been observed in analogues of cyclazocine, ethylketocyclazocine and naltrexone where the prototypic (of opiates) phenolic OH group was replaced with a formamide (-NHCHO) group. For the 8-formamide analogue of cyclazocine, binding is highly enantiospecific (eudismic ratios approximately 2000 for mu and kappa) with K(i) values
