Abstract
Buprenorphine is an agonist at the mu opioid receptor (MOR) and antagonist at the kappa (KOR) and delta (DOR) receptors and a nociceptin receptor (NOR) ligand. Buprenorphine has a relatively low intrinsic efficacy for G-proteins and a long brain and MOR dwell time. Buprenorphine ceiling on respiratory depression has theoretically been related multiple factors such as low intrinsic efficacy at MOR, binding to six-transmembrane MOR and interactions in MOR/NOR heterodimers. Buprenorphine reduces analgesic tolerance by acting as a delta opioid receptor (DOR) antagonist. As a kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist, buprenorphine reduces craving associated with addiction. Buprenorphine is a model opioid for the ordinal bifunctional analogs BU10038, BU08028 which have been shown to be potent analgesics in non-human primates without reinforcing effects and little to no respiratory depression.
期刊介绍：
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
