We have investigated various nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors for their affinity and selectivity toward the three human isoenzymes in radioligand binding experiments. Therefore, we developed the new radioligand [(3)H]2-amino-4-picoline to measure binding of these compounds to the three human

An enkephalin analogue coupled to 'aminofentanyl' has been synthesized and tested for biological activities at the mu and delta opioid receptors. Aminofentanyl which represents a structural derivative of fentanyl has been synthesized by acylation of 1-(2-phenethyl)-4-(N-anilino)piperidine with phthaloyl protected beta-alaninyl
