Three pairs of N-substituted normorphine derivatives and the sulfate conjugates at the 6-position were tested for the analgesic and antagonistic activities and the development of physical dependence in mice. The compounds examined were nalorphine, nalorphine-6-sulfate (N-6-S), N-cyclopropylmethylnormorphine (CPN), N-cyclopropylmethylnormorphine-6-sulfate (C-6-S), N-dimethylallylnormorphine (DMN) and N-dimethylallylnormorphine-6-sulfate (D-6-S). The latter two pairs were newly synthesized. The analgesic activity of C-6-S and D-6-S was equipotent to that of CPN and DMN by the acetic acid writhing test on the s.c. injection, and the activity of N-6-S was about 2 times more potent than that of nalorphine. The antagonistic activity of N-6-S, C-6-S and D-6-S to morphine analgesia was higher than that of the parent compounds by the tail pinch test on i.c.v. injection. A withdrawal sign was seen in mice treated chronically with CPN, C-6-S and N-6-S by challenge with naloxone, whereas the mice treated with DMN, D-6-S and nalorphine showed no such sign. The effect of sulfation at the 6-position on the development of physical dependence was not well associated with the effect on agonistic and antagonistic activities.
