Conformation of bicyclic guanidines with kappa-opioid receptor activity derived in our laboratory from a positional scanning synthetic combinatorial library is presented in this work. We propose a common bioactive conformation and putative pharmacophoric features by means of 3D similarity methods. Our 'Y' shape molecular binding model explains structure-activity relationships and suggests that the guanidine functionality and a 4-methoxybenzyl group may be involved in key interactions with the receptor. Comparison of our model with known opiates suggest a similar binding mode showing that the bicyclic guanidines presented in this work are suitable scaffolds for further development of new opioid receptors ligands.
