Bivalent and bitopic ligands of the opioid receptors: The prospects of a dual approach

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 2545-2599, November 2024.
Abstract Opioid receptors belonging to the class A G‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the targets of choice in the treatment of acute and chronic pain. However, their on‐target side effects such as respiratory depression, tolerance and addiction have led to the advent of the ‘opioid crisis’.

CYP76BK1 orthologs catalyze furan and lactone ring formation in clerodane diterpenoids across the mint family

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 3, Page 984-997, November 2024.
SUMMARY The Lamiaceae (mint family) is the largest known source of furanoclerodanes, a subset of clerodane diterpenoids with broad bioactivities including insect antifeedant properties. The Ajugoideae subfamily, in particular, accumulates significant numbers of structurally related furanoclerodanes.

Studies toward bivalent κ opioids derived from salvinorin A: heteromethylation of the furan ring reduces affinity

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013
The recent crystal structure of the κ-opioid receptor (κ-OR) revealed, unexpectedly, that the antagonist JDTic is a bivalent ligand: in addition to the orthosteric pocket occupied by morphinans, JDTic also occupies a distinct (allotopic) pocket ...

Kappa Opioid Receptor Agonist Mesyl Sal B Attenuates Behavioral Sensitization to Cocaine with Fewer Aversive Side-Effects than Salvinorin A in Rodents

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
The acute activation of kappa opioid receptors (KOPr) produces antinociceptive and anti-cocaine effects, however, their side-effects have limited further clinical development. Mesyl Sal B is a potent and selective KOPr analogue of Salvinorin A (Sal A), a

Prediction of storage years of Wuyi rock tea Shuixian by metabolites analysis

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 7166-7176, October 2024.
A total of 1201 compounds were detected from shuixian by UPLC‐Q‐TOF‐MS. Twenty‐nine potential marker compounds were selected to identify the age of shuixian. Fifteen years of storage is the inflection point of tea. Abstract Wuyi rock teas of different storage duration have different flavor, bioactivity, and market value, Shuixian is a main variety of ...

Involvement of the cannabinoid receptor type-1 (CB1) on Salvinorin-A-induced emotional response in rats

open access: yes, 2007
Salvinorin A, a potent kappa-opioid receptor agonist (1) is the major active ingredient of Salvia divinorum,a hallucinogenic herb, usually smoked or buccally absorbed by chewing. Recently, salvinorin A has been shown to produce reinforcing effects in the

Revisiting dezocine for opioid use disorder: A narrative review of its potential abuse liability

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2024.
Dezocine is a partial MOR agonist previously used clinically in the USA and currently in China. It has been proposed that dezocine be reintroduced to clinical use in the USA, as an analgesia and/or an additional tool to treat opioid use disorder. To consider the clinical reintroduction of dezocine knowing its abuse liability is important.

Identification of clerodane diterpene modifying cytochrome P450 (CYP728D26) in Salvia divinorum ‐ en route to psychotropic salvinorin A biosynthesis

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Salvia divinorum is a hallucinogenic plant native to the Oaxaca in Mexico. The active ingredient for psychotropic effects in this plant is salvinorin A, a potent and highly selective κ‐opioid receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is distinct from other well‐known opioids, such as morphine and codeine, in that it is a non‐nitrogenous diterpenoid with ...
