SALVINORIN DERVATIVES AND USES THEREOF (I) A CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is the U.S. national stage filing under 35 U.S.C. S371 of international application PCT/US2009/ 067929, filed Dec. 14, 2009, which claims benefit of the filing 10 date of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/122,668, filed Dec. 15, 2008. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 15 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In formula I. A The invention relates to the treatment of depressive disor is selected from C(O)Y, C(O)xis, CH(OR")X, CHZs, ders and mania. Stressors that cause symptoms of depression increase the R15 R15 activation of cAMP response element-binding protein R14 R14 (CREB) in the nucleus accumbens. CREB activation results e in the activation of the prodynorphin gene, which encodes the O O opioid peptide dynorphin.
