A series of 14 β ‐alkyl‐ and 14 β ‐alkenyl‐5 β ‐methylindolomorphinans was synthesized and evaluated in opioid binding and functional assays. While being relatively nonselective in binding assays, the 14‐cinnamyl and 14‐isopentyl members showed selective opioid δ ‐receptor partial agonist activity in [ 35 S]GTP γ S assays.
