NPC 168 (naltrexone phenyl oxime) was synthesized as a nvel opoid antagonist and evaluate din several in vitro and in vivo assays. NPC 168 inhibited binding to tthe .mu., s and .kappa. subtypes of the opioid receptor with nanomolar potencies. The potency of NPX 168 to antagonize morphine-induced analgesia was slightly less than that of naltrexone and nalmefene following either intraperitoneal (ED50 = 0.07 mg/kg) or oral (ED50 = 0.82 mg/kg) administration. The duration of ation of NPC 168 was approximately 8 hr following subcutaneous administratino, compared to 4 hr for nalmefene, to antagonize oxymorphoanize-induce analgesia. The long duration of action of NPC 168 was substantiated by pharmacokinetic data that demonstrated rapid uptake and slow clearance of NPC 168 from brain. NPC 168 (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) also inhibited cumulative 6-hr food intake in rats that were deprived of food for 24 hr, bur chronic administered of this compound to rats over a three-week period resulted in a marginal reduction in cumulative body weight gain. NPC 168 at doses of up to 10 mg/kg did not produce a conditioned taste aversion. Hence, NPC 168 was slightly more toxic than either naltrexone or nalmefene when administered parenterally, and as toxic as nalmenfene when administered by the oral route. These data demonstrate that NPC 168 is a novel opioid antagonist with a longer duration of action than earlier naltrexone or nalmefene.
