IUPHAR Review - Bivalent and bifunctional opioid receptor ligands as novel analgesics
Pharmacological Research, 2023 Though efficacious in managing chronic, severe pain, opioid analgesics are accompanied by significant adverse effects including constipation, tolerance, dependence, and respiratory depression.

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2015 Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Opioid Receptors in Psoriatic Skin: Relationship with Itch.
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2017 Psoriasis is an inflammatory immunogenetic skin disease, often accompanied by itch. Opioid receptors are known regulators of itch sensation in the central nervous system.

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 BackgroundOpioid receptors are expressed not only by neural cells in the central nervous system, but also by many solid tumor cancer cells. Whether perioperative opioids given for analgesia after tumor resection surgery might inadvertently activate tumor

Analgesic Effects of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Inhibition in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain [PDF]
, 2006 Cannabinoid-based medicines have therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain. Augmentation of levels of endocannabinoids with inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is analgesic in models of acute and inflammatory pain states.

Opioid and cannabinoid receptors
Current 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.

Delta opioid receptors regulate temporoammonic-activated feedforward inhibition to the mouse CA1 hippocampus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The opioid system influences learning and memory processes. However, neural mechanisms underlying the modulation of hippocampal activity by opioid receptors remain largely unknown. Here, we compared how mu and delta receptors operate within the mouse CA1

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]
, 2013 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.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.
