effect of tramadol (μ-opioid receptor agonist) on orthodontic tooth movements in a rat model.
tramadol is a synthetic analgesic of opioids which has more flexible mechanisms of action than typical opioids. since it has been reported in previous study that typical opioids like morphine can affect the bone homeostasis, it is worthwhile to examine the effects of tramadol on tooth movement. in this study we investigated effects of tramadol on orthodontic tooth movement in rats.30 male wista...
متن کاملEndomorphin-2: a biased agonist at the μ-opioid receptor.
Previously we correlated the efficacy for G protein activation with that for arrestin recruitment for a number of agonists at the μ-opioid receptor (MOPr) stably expressed in HEK293 cells. We suggested that the endomorphins (endomorphin-1 and -2) might be biased toward arrestin recruitment. In the present study, we investigated this phenomenon in more detail for endomorphin-2, using endogenous ...
متن کاملFunctional selectivity at the μ-opioid receptor: implications for understanding opioid analgesia and tolerance.
Opioids are the most effective analgesic drugs for the management of moderate or severe pain, yet their clinical use is often limited because of the onset of adverse side effects. Drugs in this class produce most of their physiological effects through activation of the μ opioid receptor; however, an increasing number of studies demonstrate that different opioids, while presumably acting at this...
متن کاملThe μ-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO presynaptically suppresses solitary tract-evoked input to neurons in the rostral solitary nucleus.
Taste processing in the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (rNST) is subject to modulatory influences including opioid peptides. Behavioral pharmacological studies suggest an influence of μ-opioid receptors in rNST, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. To determine the cellular site of action, we tested the effects of the μ-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO in vitro. Whole cell patch-clamp r...
متن کاملBetter agonist for the opioid receptors
This commentary highlights the recent work published in journal Nature on the structural based discovery of novel analgesic compounds for opioid receptors with minimal effects. Manglik et al. selectively targeted the Gi based μOR pathway instead of the β-arrestin pathway of the opioids. The computational screening of millions of compounds showed a list of several competent ligands. From these l...
