Thiol-reactive analogues of galanthamine, codeine and morphine as potential probes to interrogate allosteric binding within nAChRs [PDF]
Alkaloids including galanthamine (1) and codeine (2) are reported to be positive allosteric modulators of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) but the binding sites responsible for this activity are not known with certainty.

Improved evaluation method for reliable distinction of poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) cultivars
Investigating seven Hungarian standard cultivars (i.e. 'A1’, 'Kék Gemona', '13C-2`,'Kék Duna', `Kompolti M’, `Gödi N', 'Kozmosz) it was proved that for the reliable distinction between cultivars a complex analysis is necessitated. Because of the large

Characterization of Opioid Agonist Morphine Derivatives with Emphasis on Medicinal Chemistry
The aim of synthesizing new opioid compounds is to produce drugs that are more potent, less addictive, and have fewer side effects, such as respiratory depression and constipation. To achieve this, we evaluated the basicity, lipophilicity, and permeability of 30 opioid compounds, including 11 newly synthesized ones, to better understand the ...

A Theory of Natural Addiction [PDF]
Economic theories of rational addiction aim to describe consumer behavior in the presence of habit-forming goods. We provide a biological foundation for this body of work by formally specifying conditions under which it is optimal to form a habit.
