β-Funaltrexamine (β-FNA) is anirreversible (covalently bonding)opioid antagonist that was used to create the firstcrystal structure of theμ-opioid receptor (MOR).[1] It isselective for antagonism of the MOR over theδ-opioid receptor (DOR) andκ-opioid receptor (KOR).[2] Chemically, it is analtrexonederivative with a methyl-fumaramide group in the 6-position. In addition to its MOR irreversible antagonism, β-FNA is a reversibleagonist of theκ-opioid receptor (KOR) and produces KOR-mediatedanalgesic effects in animals.[2][3][4] This has limited its usefulness and contributed to the development ofmethocinnamox as a more selective functionally irreversible antagonist of the MOR with no significant opioid agonistic actions.[3]
