Intravenous adrenaline induced reticular extracontractions and rumination within 26 sec in hay-fed, and 184 sec in cube-fed sheep. Regardless of diet, pretreatment with cerebroventricular infusion of kappa-opioid-receptor agonists enhanced this reflex. Control of rumination may involve multiple opioid-receptors, since inhibition of the reflex occurred after mu- and delta-opioid-agonists. Key words: Sheep, rumination, opioid-peptides

Analgesia is commonly mediated through the mu or kappa opioid receptor agonism. Unfortunately, selective mu or kappa receptor agonists often cause harmful side effects. Recently, ligands exhibiting dual agonism to the opioid receptors, such as to mu and kappa, or to mu and delta, have been suggested to temper undesirable adverse effects while retaining analgesic activity. Herein we report an introduction of various 6,5-fused rings to C2 of the salvinorin scaffold <i>via</i> an ester linker. <i>In vitro</i> studies showed that some of these compounds have dual agonism on kappa and mu opioid receptors, while some have triple agonism on kappa, mu, and delta. <i>In vivo </i>studies on the lead dual kappa and mu opioid receptor agonist, compound <b>10</b>, showed that it<b> </b>produced analgesic activity while avoiding anxiogenic effects in murine models, thus providing further strong evidence for the therapeutic advantages of dual opioid receptor agonists over selective opioid receptor agonists.
