We investigated the binding characteristics of dihydroetorphine, 7,8-dihydro-7 alpha-[1-(R)-hydroxy-1-methylbutyl]-6, 14-endoethanotetrahydro-oripavine, and its effect on the inhibitory system of cyclic AMP production using cloned mu-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptors expressed on Chinese hamster ovary cells. The Ki values of dihydroetorphine for

We previously demonstrated that the combined exposure of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) to morphine and viral protein(s) results in the oxidative stress-mediated induction of autophagy, leading to shift in the cells from early apoptotic to apoptosis-resistant proliferative status
