Chronic morphine treatment attenuates cell growth of human BT474 breast cancer cells by rearrangement of the ErbB signalling network. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Nonspecific Effects of the Selective κ-Opioid Receptor AgonistU-50,488H on Dopamine Uptake and Release in PC12 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
: κ-Opioid receptor agonists decrease the levels of extracellular dopamine in vivo and in vitro. However, the mechanism(s) underlying these actions are unclear.

Role of Endogenous Opioid System in Ischemic-Induced Late Preconditioning. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
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

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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]

open access: yesThe Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2022
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.

Opioids and opioid receptors; understanding pharmacological mechanisms as a key to therapeutic advances and mitigation of the misuse crisis

open access: yesBJA Open, 2023
Opioids are a mainstay in acute pain management and produce their effects and side effects (e.g., tolerance, opioid-use disorder and immune suppression) by interaction with opioid receptors.

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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.

Generalization of NMDA-Receptor Antagonists to the Discriminative Stimulus Effects of κ-Opioid Receptor Agonists U-50,488H, but Not TRK-820 in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: 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]

open access: yes, 2014
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
