Brain blood barrier penetrant organoselenium compound that exhibits antinociceptive and antidepressant effects
m-Trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide (TFDD) is a brain blood barrier penetrant organoselenium compound that exhibits antinociceptive and antidepressant effects in animal models without development of tolerance or withdrawal sighs. m-Trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide acts as opioid system modulator, which attenuates morphine withdrawal signs in mice. It exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which might contribute to neuro protective effects.
Chronic pain and depression often coexist sharing common pathological mechanisms, and available analgesics and antidepressants have demonstrated limited clinical efficacy. Evidence has demonstrated that neuronal oxidative stress, apoptosis, and also glucocorticoid receptor dysregulation facilitate the occurrence and development of both
Contribution of Opioid and Nitrergic Systems to m-Trifluoromethyl diphenyl Diselenide Attenuates Morphine-Induced Tolerance in Mice
Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology & biological psychiatry, 98, 109803-109803 (2019-11-07)
The opioid withdrawal syndrome is defined as a complex phenomenon involving multiple cellular adaptations, which leads to the emergence of aversive physical and affective signs. The m-trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide (m-CF3-PhSe)2 elicits an antidepressant-like effect by modulating the opioid system in different
