Biological Activity

[Description]:

A novel, long-acting and orally active, selective mu-opioid agonist that displays higher binding affinity (Ki=237 nM) at the MOR than kappa and delta opioid receptors (>100-fold); demonstrates maximum analgesic activity comparable to that of oxycodone in hot-plate latency and acetic-acid writhing models, reduces its rate of entry across the blood-brain barrier compared with traditional mu-opioid agonists.
