6-Hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxylic acid is a mimetic ligand that binds to the opioid receptor. It has been shown to bind to the receptor with high affinity and act as an antagonist. 6HITIQUINOLIC acid was found to have high affinity for opioid receptors in rat brain membranes and naloxone binding sites in guinea pig ileum. This compound has also been shown to have a higher affinity than morphine at the μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors. The active conformation of 6HITIQUINOLIC acid is believed to be due to its n-terminal amino group, which is necessary for its activity as an antagonist. The chemical name for this compound is 6-(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydroisoquinolinecarboxylic acid.
