β-Naltrexamine, or 6β-naltrexamine, is an opioid receptor antagonist related to naltrexol and naltrexone. It has served as a parent pharmacophore for irreversible antagonists of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) such as β-chlornaltrexamine (β-CNA) and β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA). Naltrexamine itself is a neutral antagonist of the MOR and the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) with similarly high affinity for both receptors.
