Loss of μ-opioid receptor signaling in nociceptors, and not spinal microglia, abrogates morphine tolerance without disrupting analgesic efficacy

open access: yesNature Network Boston, 2016
Opioid pain medications have detrimental side effects including analgesic tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Tolerance and OIH counteract opioid analgesia and drive dose escalation.

Psychedelic Drugs in Mental Disorders: Current Clinical Scope and Deep Learning‐Based Advanced Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphic illustration showing the strategic approaches based on the currently investigated evidence of psychedelics that suggests the challenges and how to address the prescription of mental disorders. These applicable avenues may provide substantial insight into distinguishing between brain networks and psychedelics.

Cellular Tolerance Induced by Chronic Opioids in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022
Opioids are powerful analgesics that elicit acute antinociceptive effects through their action the mu opioid receptor (MOR). However opioids are ineffective for chronic pain management, in part because continuous activation of MORs induces adaptive ...

Will peripherally restricted kappa‐opioid receptor agonists (pKORAs) relieve pain with less opioid adverse effects and abuse potential?

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 2016
Optimal utilization of opioid analgesics is significantly limited by the central nervous system adverse effects and misuse/abuse potential of currently available drugs.

Binding Pathway of Opiates to $μ$ Opioid Receptors Revealed by Unsupervised Machine Learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Many important analgesics relieve pain by binding to the $\mu$-Opioid Receptor ($\mu$OR), which makes the $\mu$OR among the most clinically relevant proteins of the G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) family. Despite previous studies on the activation pathways of the GPCRs, the mechanism of opiate binding and the selectivity of $\mu$OR are largely ...

Opioid and cannabinoid receptors

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
Opioids and cannabinoids are two major classes of drugs with important clinical uses as well as significant side effects. Recently, the three major subtypes of opioid receptors, delta, kappa and mu, have been cloned. Both the endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors have also recently been cloned.

The Lung Microbiome Modulates Pain‐Like Behavior Via the Lung–Brain Axis in a Nitroglycerin‐Induced Chronic Migraine Mouse Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Intratracheal neomycin alters pulmonary microbiota, activating the vagus nerve via lung brain‐derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B (BDNF/TrkB) pathway, further projecting to nucleus of solitary tract (NTS), then dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), where activated serotoninergic neurons increase brain serotonin, alleviating migraine.

Opposite effects of neuropeptide FF on central antinociception induced by endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is known to be an endogenous opioid-modulating peptide. Nevertheless, very few researches focused on the interaction between NPFF and endogenous opioid peptides. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of NPFF system

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

Stress-Dependent Impairment Of Passive-Avoidance Memory By Propranolol Or Naloxone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Previous work has shown that the effect of opioid-receptor blockade on memory modulation is critically dependent upon the intensity of stress. The current study determined the effect of adrenergic-receptor blockade on memory modulation under varied ...
