22-Feb-2007
The compound, to be called BTG6001, is an orally active opioid agonist with a long duration of action, potentially reducing the amount of analgesic required for effective pain control. Owing to its unique receptor profile, BTG6001 is also expected to show a superior side effect profile compared with current opiate analgesics. BTG plans to complete preclinical development and initiate Phase I clinical studies during 2008.
