PTI-3 is a [[benzomorphan]] derivative, and is structurally related to the [[opioid]] [[antagonist]] [[naloxone]]. However, unlike naloxone, PTI-3 does not have significant affinity for opioid receptors, and instead binds selectively to the Sigma-1 receptor.


==Pharmacology==
'''PTI-3''' is a chemical compound that has been studied for its potential applications in various fields, including [[pharmacology]] and [[biochemistry]]. It is known for its unique structural properties and potential biological activities.
PTI-3 acts as an [[agonist]] at the Sigma-1 receptor, and has been shown to produce neuroprotective effects in animal models of [[neurodegenerative disease]]. These effects are thought to be mediated by the Sigma-1 receptor, as they can be blocked by the selective Sigma-1 receptor antagonist [[BD-1063]].
