Opioid Peptides: Potential for Drug Development [PDF]
Opioid receptors are important targets for the treatment of pain and potentially for other disease states (e.g. mood disorders and drug abuse) as well.

A review of frequently used Kampo prescriptions part 1. Daikenchuto
Abstract Background The original formula name for daikenchuto (DKT) was written in ‘Jin Gui Yao Lue (Kinkiyōryaku in Japanese)’. DKT as used in Japan consists of four types of crude drug. Key findings Although there are few examples of its use in Chinese classical records, it has begun to be used extensively in modern Japan for intestinal obstruction ...

On the G-protein-coupled receptor heteromers and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system: focus on their role in pain modulation [PDF]
The modulatory role of allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the pain pathways of the Central Nervous System and the peripheral nociceptors has become of increasing interest.

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Concomitant duplications of opioid peptide and receptor genes before the origin of jawed vertebrates. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The opioid system is involved in reward and pain mechanisms and consists in mammals of four receptors and several peptides. The peptides are derived from four prepropeptide genes, PENK, PDYN, PNOC and POMC, encoding enkephalins, dynorphins ...
