Clocinnamox (CCAM or C-CAM; developmental code name NIH-10443) is a selective and irreversible antagonist of the μ-opioid receptor.[1] [2] Closely related compounds include methocinnamox (MCAM) and methoclocinnamox (MCCAM).[3] [4] [5] They were derived via structural modification of buprenorphine.[6] Clocinnamox was first described in the scientific literature by 1992.[7]

Given the advantages of buprenorphine as a treatment for opioid use disorder, additional compounds related to buprenorphine were synthesized in an attempt to reduce its adverse effects (Broadbear et al. 2000). These efforts resulted in the discovery of the mu opioid receptor antagonist methocinnamox (MCAM). Like buprenorphine, MCAM binds pseudoirreversibly to mu opioid receptors; however, it does not appear to produce agonist effects at mu opioid receptors under any conditions. Instead, MCAM produces long-lasting antagonism at mu opioid receptors, as evidenced by attenuation of the antinociceptive effects of morphine in rodents, with the morphine dose-effect curve shifted up to hundredfold rightward (Peckham et al. 2005) and antagonist effects evident for at least 2 days after administration (Broadbear et al. 2000)..
