Evaluation of the Drug–Drug Interaction Potential of Cannabidiol Against UGT2B7-Mediated Morphine Metabolism Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling [PDF]
PharmaceuticsBackground: Morphine is a commonly prescribed opioid analgesic used to treat chronic pain. Morphine undergoes glucuronidation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 to form morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide.

Microglia in morphine tolerance: cellular and molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyMorphine has a crucial role in treating both moderate to severe pain and chronic pain. However, prolonged administration of morphine can lead to tolerance of analgesia, resulting in increased doses and poor treatment of pain. Many patients, such as those

Endogenous morphine levels are increased in sepsis: a partial implication of neutrophils. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Mammalian cells synthesize morphine and the respective biosynthetic pathway has been elucidated. Human neutrophils release this alkaloid into the media after exposure to morphine precursors.

Pharmacogenomics and Morphine [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2021 AbstractMorphine is an opioid analgesic indicated in the treatment of acute and chronic moderate to severe pain. From a pharmacodynamic standpoint, morphine exerts its effects by agonizing mu‐opioid receptors predominantly, resulting in analgesia and sedation.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Acutely, non-selective cannabinoid (CB) agonists have been shown to increase morphine antinociceptive effects, and we and others have also demonstrated that non-selective CB agonists attenuate morphine antinociceptive tolerance. Activation of cannabinoid

Perineuronal morphine: a comparison with epidural morphine [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1988 SummaryIn a double‐blind, randomised controlled cross‐over study the effects of perineuronal (perifemoral) injections of morphine were compared with epidural injections with the same amount of morphine in patients after knee surgery. Better pain scores were achieved during treatment with epidural morphine.

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 Opioids, such as morphine, are the most potent drugs used to treat pain. Long-term use results in high tolerance to morphine. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) has been shown to participate in neuropathic or inflammatory pain, but its role in morphine ...

Neural mechanisms underlying morphine withdrawal in addicted patients: a review [PDF]
Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2015 Morphine is one of the most potent alkaloid in opium, which has substantial medical uses and needs and it is the first active principle purified from herbal source. Morphine has commonly been used for relief of moderate to severe pain as it acts directly
