1 Naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) has initially been developed as an agonist of the pharmacologically defined kappa3-opioid receptor and has recently been employed as an antagonist at the opioid receptor-like (ORL1) receptor. In the present study, we investigated the ability of
Buprenorphine is widely used as an analgesic drug and it is also increasingly considered for maintenance and detoxification of heroin addicts. It is a potent micro -receptor partial agonist with a long duration of action. An inverted U-shaped dose-effect curve

We have studied the effects of naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) at recombinant human OP4 receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (CHOhOP4) and native OP4 sites in isolated tissues from various species. In CHOhOP4 membranes, nociceptin (NC) and NalBzoH displaced

The presence of pairs of basic amino acids within the orphanin FQ/Nociceptin (OFQ/N) sequence has raised the possibility that truncated versions of the peptide might be physiologically important. OFQ/N(1-11) is pharmacologically active in mice, despite its poor affinity in binding

Mu-opioid receptor agonists are a mainstay of clinical analgesia, despite the significant unwanted effects and dependence liability associated with drugs like morphine. The quest for opioids that produce analgesia with fewer undesirable effects has lead to the putative identification of
