AZD-7268 is a δ-opioid receptor agonist which was under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder but was never marketed.[1][2][3] It is taken by mouth.[1]

The affinity (Ki) of AZD-7268 for the δ-opioid receptor was reported to be 2.7 nM and its selectivity for this receptor over the μ-opioid receptor was reported to be 2,000-fold.[4] No animal studies of AZD-7268 appear to have been published.[3][4] In addition to putative antidepressant effects, AZD-7268 might have anxiolytic effects.[4][3] Structurally, AZD-7268 was derived from SNC-80.[4]

Dose-limiting side effects of AZD-7268 in clinical trials included syncope (fainting), hypotension (low blood pressure), and dizziness.[3]

AZD-7268 was first described by 2007.[3] Its development was discontinued in 2010.[3][1] It reached phase 2 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development.[1] No reason was given for the discontinuation of its development.[3] However, the drug was found to be ineffective for major depressive disorder in a phase 2 clinical trial of 231 participants comparing it with placebo and escitalopram.[3][5][4][6] The drug was under development by AstraZeneca.[1]
