| Bioactivity | Naltriben mesylate is a potent delta-2 receptor-selective antagonist, with Kis of 0.013, 19 and 152 nM for δ, μ and κ receptors, respectively. Naltriben mesylate selectively attenuates alcohol intake in rats bred for alcohol preference[1][2]. |
| In Vivo | The hypothermia caused by SNC-80 (35 mg/kg, im) is blocked by a delta2 antagonist, Naltriben (2.5 mg/kg; sc; Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 100-125 g)[2]. |
