Abstract

The invention provides a method of treating anxiety or a compulsive disorder in a subject comprising administering to the subject a compound having formula 2: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and X are as defined in the specification.

Claims (118)

1. A method of treating anxiety or a compulsive disorder in a subject, the method comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a compound of formula 2:

including diastereoisomers in which R 2 and R 3 are interchanged,

wherein:

R is H or alkyl;

R 1 is cyclopropylmethyl;

R 2 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently H or methyl;

R 3 is aryl or heteroaryl, either of which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and

X is —CH 2 CH 2 — or —CH═CH—,

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein X is —CH 2 CH 2 —.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is substituted phenyl.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is phenyl and X is —CH═CH—.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is phenyl and X is —CH 2 CH 2 —.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is m-tolyl and X is —CH═CH—.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is 4-fluorophenyl and X is —CH═CH—.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula 2 is selected from the group consisting of:

(1′R,5α,6R,7R,14α)-1′-(2-methylphenyl)-1′-(4,5-epoxy-7,8-dihydro-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7β-methyl 17-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-ethenomorphinan-7-yl)-methan-1′-ol; and
