  2. μ-opioid receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Μ-opioid_receptor

    They are also referred to as μ(mu)-opioid peptide (MOP) receptors. The prototypical μ-opioid receptor agonist is morphine, the primary psychoactive alkaloid in opium and for which the receptor was named, with mu being the first letter of Morpheus, the compound's namesake in the original Greek.

  3. Opioid receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_receptor

    Opioid receptors are a group of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors with opioids as ligands. [1] [2] [3] The endogenous opioids are dynorphins, enkephalins, endorphins, endomorphins and nociceptin. The opioid receptors are ~40% identical to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs).

  4. Agonist-antagonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agonist-antagonist

    The best known agonist-antagonists are opioids. Examples of such opioids are: pentazocine, agonist at the kappa (κ) and sigma (σ) and has a weak antagonist action at the mu opioid receptor (μ) [4] butorphanol, partial agonist at μ- and a pure agonist at κ-opioid receptor and antagonist activity at the delta opioid receptor (δ) [5]

  5. Ohmefentanyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmefentanyl

    Ohmefentanyl (also known as β-hydroxy-3-methylfentanyl, OMF and RTI-4614-4) [1] is an extremely potent opioid analgesic drug which selectively binds to the μ-opioid receptor. [2] [3] There are eight possible stereoisomers of ohmefentanyl.

  6. Utopioid (drug class) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopioid_(drug_class)

    U-47700 itself is the most potent mu opioid agonist from this class, around 7-10x the potency of morphine. Some other compounds such as 3,4-MDO-U-47700 and N-Ethyl-U-47700 retain similar mu selectivity but with lower potency similar to that of morphine, or have a mixture of mu and kappa mediated effects, such as U-48800. Most utopioid ...

  7. Enkephalin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enkephalin

    The receptors for enkephalin are the delta opioid receptors and mu opioid receptors. Opioid receptors are a group of G-protein-coupled receptors, with other opioids as ligands as well. The other endogenous opioids are dynorphins (that bind to kappa receptors), endorphins (mu receptors), endomorphins, and nociceptin/orphanin FQ. The opioid ...
