Opioids in preclinical and clinical trials.
Since 1952, when Gates determined the stereo structure of morphine, numerous groups have focused on discovering a nonnarcotic opioid drug. Although several natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic opioid ligands (alkaloids and peptides) have been developed in clinical studies, very few were nonnarcotic opioid drugs. One of the most important studies in the opioid field appeared in 1976, when Marti...
متن کاملInvolvement of central mu-opioid system in the scratching behavior in mice, and the suppression of it by the activation of kappa-opioid system.
The role of central mu- and kappa-opioid receptors in the regulation of itch sensation was examined using pruritogen-induced mouse scratching behavior model. Intracerebroventricular administration of beta-funaltrexamine, a selective mu-opioid receptor antagonist, inhibited the scratching behavior induced by intradermal substance P, but subcutaneous administration of beta-funaltrexamine did not....
متن کاملEffects of atypical kappa-opioid receptor agonists on intrathecal morphine-induced itch and analgesia in primates.
Itch/pruritus is the most common side effect associated with spinal administration of morphine given to humans for analgesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) agonists with diverse chemical structures as antipruritics and to elucidate the receptor mechanism underlying the antipruritic effect in monkeys. In particular, previously proposed ...
متن کاملSystemic kappa opioid receptor agonists in the treatment of chronic pruritus: a literature review.
Chronic pruritus is frequently refractory to currently available treatments. Studies suggest that pruritus may arise from an imbalance of the mu- and kappa-opioid receptor system activity in either the skin or the central nervous system. Stimulation of kappa-opioid receptors by their agonists inhibits pruritus in both animals and humans. The antipruritic effect of kappa-opioid receptors agonist...
متن کاملEffects of Atypical -Opioid Receptor Agonists on Intrathecal Morphine-Induced Itch and Analgesia in Primates
Itch/pruritus is the most common side effect associated with spinal administration of morphine given to humans for analgesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of -opioid receptor (KOR) agonists with diverse chemical structures as antipruritics and to elucidate the receptor mechanism underlying the antipruritic effect in monkeys. In particular, previously proposed non-K...
