DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF SALVINORIN-BASED COMPOUNDS FOR THE OPIOID RECEPTORS. [PDF]
Opioid receptors (OR) are expressed throughout both the peripheral and central nervous system and play crucial roles in the modulation of antinociception, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

Studies Towards the Synthesis of Salvinorin A [PDF]
Salvinorin A 1, a psychoactive neoclerodane diterpenoid from the Mexican sage S. divinorum, has gained interest as a selective ?-opioid receptor agonist. Non-racemic 3-furylamines 9a and 9b have been prepared from (+)-pseudoephedrine and (–)-ephedrine for application in the stereoselective synthesis of the ketone ring of 1.

Autoxidation of Salvinorin A under Basic Conditions
Treatment of salvinorin A (1a) with KOH in MeOH gave the enedione 3, for which the dienone structure 7 was recently proposed. Also isolated, after methylation, were the secotriesters 4a−c. A mechanism for this unusual series of autoxidations is proposed.

An endemic Aurès chemotype of Salvia balansae emerges as a rich source of luteolin, rosmarinic acid, and other polyphenols with potent antioxidant and NLRP3‐linked anti‐inflammatory activities. Protection against experimental inflammation, favorable enzyme‐modulating properties, and a wide safety margin highlight its promise as a pharmaceutical and ...

The gut metagenomics and metabolomics signature in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic gut immune dysregulation and dysbiosis condition is rapidly increasing in global incidence. Regardless, there is a lack of ideal diagnostic markers, while conventional treatment provides scarce desired results,

The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...
