Description

[0002] Opioid receptors are an important class of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are targets for the binding of endogenous opioid peptides and opioid drugs. Endogenous opioid peptides are naturally occurring opioid-like active substances in mammals, and are currently known to be broadly classified into enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins, and neophorphins. Corresponding opioid receptors, namely μ(MOR), δ(DOR), and κ(KOR) receptors, exist in the central nervous system. Studies have found that the strength of the analgesic effect of endogenous opioid peptides mainly depends on the expression level of opioid receptors, which are the targets of opioid drugs and the analgesic effects of endogenous opioid peptides.
