Chronic morphine treatment attenuates cell growth of human BT474 breast cancer cells by rearrangement of the ErbB signalling network. [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that opioid analgesics may interfere with tumour growth. It is currently thought that these effects are mediated by transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-controlled ERK1/2 and Akt signalling.

Role of Endogenous Opioid System in Ischemic-Induced Late Preconditioning. [PDF]
Opioid receptors (OR) are involved in myocardial late preconditioning (LPC) induced by morphine and δ1-opioid receptor (δ1-OR) agonists. The role of OR in ischemic-induced LPC is unknown.

IUPHAR Review - Bivalent and bifunctional opioid receptor ligands as novel analgesics
Though efficacious in managing chronic, severe pain, opioid analgesics are accompanied by significant adverse effects including constipation, tolerance, dependence, and respiratory depression.

Remifentanil post-conditioning attenuates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury via κ or δ opioid receptor activation [PDF]
Background: Ischemic pre- or post-conditioning of the heart has been shown to involve opioid receptors. Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting selective μ opioid receptor agonist in clinical use, pre-conditions the rat heart against ischemia-reperfusion ...

Role of central opioid receptors on serotonin-Induced hypophagia in the neonatal broilers [PDF]
Serotonin (5-HT) plays an underpinning role in appetite regulation and the opioid system has a role in the modulation of the ingestion behavior in birds.

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.

.: Generalizations of NMDA-receptor antagonists to the discriminative stimulus effects of κ-opioid receptor agonists in rats were examined. Phencyclidine, MK-801, and ketamine, noncompetitive NMDA-receptor antagonists, generalized to the discriminative ...

Synthesis of a novel universal opioid receptor agonist with the 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane skeleton and its pharmacologies [PDF]
We designed and synthesized of 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinanes with o- or p-hydroxyphenyl rings as analogs of the κ opioid receptor agonist SYK-146 with m-hydroxyphenyl groups. Although almost all tested compounds did not bind to the opioid receptors, only 17b
