Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

SR-17018 is a biased mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist that exhibits unique pharmacological properties compared to conventional opioids. It demonstrates high binding affinity for MOR (K𝑖 ~ 18 nM) with preferential G-protein signaling over β-arrestin recruitment, which is proposed to reduce adverse effects such as respiratory depression and tolerance. Functional assays show that SR-17018 has an EC50 of approximately 80 nM for G-protein activation, with a significantly reduced efficacy for β-arrestin recruitment compared to morphine. In vivo, SR-17018 produces dose-dependent analgesia in rodent pain models while displaying a slow onset and prolonged duration of action.

More Info
Biological target:
SR-17018 is an mu-opioid-receptor (MOR) agonist, binding with GTPγS, with an EC50 of 97 nM.
In vitro activity:
To be determined
In vivo activity:
Biased agonists, such as SR-17018, may be useful for opioid dependence treatment, while also restoring opioid antinociceptive sensitivity. When chronically administered to mice, SR-17018 did not lead to certain hallmarks of opioid neuronal adaptations seen with morphine. Substitution with SR-17018 in morphine-tolerant mice restored morphine potency and efficacy, whereas the onset of opioid withdrawal was prevented.
