The US faces an unprecedented surge in fatal drug overdoses. Naloxone, the only antidote for opiate overdose, competes at the mu opioid receptor (μOR) orthosteric site. Naloxone struggles against fentanyl-class synthetic opioids that now cause ∼80% of deaths. Negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) targeting secondary sites may noncompetitively downregulate μOR activation. (-)-Cannabidiol ((-)-CBD) is a candidate μOR NAM. To explore its therapeutic potential, we evaluated the structure-activity relationships among CBD analogs to identify NAMs with increased potency. Using a cyclic AMP assay, we characterize reversal of μOR activation by 15 CBD analogs, several of which proved more potent than (-)-CBD. Comparative docking investigations suggest that potent compounds interact with a putative allosteric pocket to stabilize the inactive μOR conformation. Finally, these compounds enhance naloxone displacement of fentanyl from the orthosteric site. Our results suggest that CBD analogs offer considerable potential for the development of next-generation antidotes for opioid overdose.
