6β-Naltrexol functions as a potent and peripherally selective opioid receptor antagonist. Unlike central-acting opioid antagonists, 6β-Naltrexol is restricted primarily to peripheral tissues, which allows it to counteract opioid-mediated side effects such as opioid-induced constipation while minimizing central nervous system interactions. 6β-Naltrexol is therefore relevant in reseaches in peripheral opioid effects.
