Application

Salvinorin A was administered to rats to study effects on lactic acid-stimulated stretching.1

Biochem/physiol Actions

Salvinorin A is a potent, non-nitrogenous κ opioid selective receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is isolated from Salvia divinorum. Salvinorin A displays high affinity at both native (Ki=4.3 nm) and cloned (Ki=16 nm) κ -opioid receptors. Preliminary studies suggest that Salvanorin A is chemically unique among the psychtropic drugs and does not bind to any known receptor.
