Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

SNC-80 is a full agonist for the delta opioid receptor, with a Ki of 1.78 nM at the human delta opioid receptor. It has been found to produce analgesia in animal studies, and has also been found to produce convulsions, which has limited its potential for clinical use.
