Summary | In this technology, a series of potent MOR/NOP agonists has been developed, which demonstrated potent antinociception in tail flick and cancer pain mouse models with fewer side-effects in respiratory suppression, heart rate decreasing, and constipation models than morphine. |
||
Scientific Breakthrough | 1. A first-in-calss pain-killer with low adverse-effects. 2. A MOR/NOP dual and biased-agonist, which possesses a new mode-of-action. 3. A series of patentable small molecules with novel structural scaffold. |
||
Industrial Applicability | A fast painkiller -The onset time of this drug is within ten minutes after subcutaneous injection. Low addiction -The NOP activation of this drug reduces addiction. Slight affecting in the digestive system - This drug did not cause constipation. High level of safety -This drug caused low and short-term effects on lung and heart function. |
