Kappa opioid receptor agonists are clinically used to treat pruritus and have therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain and neuropsychiatric disorders. We have previously shown that triazole 1.1 is a G protein signaling-biased KOR agonist, that can suppress itch without producing signs of sedation in mice. This profile was recapitulated in rats and non-human primates; however, triazole 1.1 had limited potency as an antipruritic. Here we describe a more potent, G protein signaling-biased ag
