Abstract
Current approaches to the search for new kappa-opioid receptor (κ-OR) agonists with potential analgesic activity are reviewed. Agents with peripheral activity and biased agonists are most promising for development. Signal events initiated by κ-OR activation are considered. Chemical structures of presently known κ-OR agonists are presented.
