SNC-80

SNC-80 is an opioid analgesic drug that selectively activates μ–δ opioid receptor heteromers and is used in scientific research. It was discovered in 1994.

SNC-80 was the first non-peptide drug developed that was regarded as a highly selective agonist for the δ-opioid receptor. It has been shown to produce useful analgesic,antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal studies, but its usefulness is limited by producing convulsions at high doses, and so SNC-80 is not used medically, although it is a useful drug in scientific research.
