Intranasal diamorphine population pharmacokinetics modeling and simulation in pediatric breakthrough pain

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 435-447, March 2025.
Abstract Intranasal diamorphine (IND), approved for managing breakthrough pain in the UK, has been identified as an acceptable alternative offering effective, expedient, and less traumatic analgesia for children. However, the current dose regimen in pediatric populations relies on clinical expertise while the pharmacokinetics properties are poorly ...

Population Pharmacokinetics and Transfer of Gabapentin When Used as a Pain Adjunct for Cesarean Deliveries

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 551-560, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for cesarean deliveries (CDs) utilize multimodal pain management strategies that often include gabapentin. While gabapentin is excreted in breast milk, its pharmacokinetics in immediately postpartum lactating women are not known. This observational pharmacokinetic study (NCT05099484) enrolled 21

Activation of Astrocytic μ-Opioid Receptor Causes Conditioned Place Preference

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The underlying mechanisms of how positive emotional valence (e.g., pleasure) causes preference of an associated context is poorly understood. Here, we show that activation of astrocytic μ-opioid receptor (MOR) drives conditioned place preference

Effect of butorphanol in combination with xylazine during castration of calves: A randomised trial under field conditions

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In horses, cats and dogs, the opioid butorphanol has been proven effective in management of visceral pain and for peri‐ and postoperative pain relief. The aim of this study was to evaluate physiological responses and indicators of noxious stimuli when adding butorphanol to xylazine for sedation of bull calves during surgical ...

A Novel Gβγ-Subunit Inhibitor Selectively Modulates μ-Opioid- Dependent Antinociception and Attenuates Acute Morphine-Induced Antinociceptive Tolerance and Dependence [PDF]

, 2008
The Gβγ subunit has been implicated in many downstream signaling events associated with opioids. We previously demonstrated that a small molecule inhibitor of Gβγ-subunit-dependent phospholipase (PLC) activation potentiated morphine-induced analgesia ...
