Description:

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

Salvinorin A is a potent, non-nitrogenous κ opioid selective receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is isolated from Salvia divinorum. Salvinorin A preserves cerebral pial artery autoregulation after forebrain ischemia via the PI3K/AKT/cGMP pathway. Salvinorin A ameliorates cerebral vasospasm through activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in a rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Product Data
Biological target:
Salvinorin A is a non-nitrogenous κ-opioid selective agonist that displays high affinity at both native (Ki = 4.3 nM) and cloned (Ki = 16 nM) κ-opioid receptors. Salvinorin A exhibits allosteric modulation of μ-opioid receptor binding.
In vitro activity:
Salvinorin A showed promising in vitro activity against allergic rhinitis. Salvinorin A inhibited histamine and β-hexosaminidase release, as well as the production of inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin-4 and tumor necrosis factor-α) in rat basophilic leukemia cells. Salvinorin A dampened granule release and F-actin organization in these cells. Reference: FEBS Open Bio. 2021 Aug;11(8):2166-2173. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34092045/
In vivo activity:
Salvinorin A may be a potential treatment for ischemic stroke. Intranasal Salvinorin A administration after ischemic stroke in adult male mice with transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion reduced brain inflammation, shifted microglia/macrophages to a less inflammatory state, and reduced immune cell infiltration into the brain. Salvinorin A also protected the blood-brain barrier, reduced long-term brain damage, and improved neurological function in mice.
