Synthesis and biological evaluation of a peptide-remifentanil conjugate as a novel bifunctional mu/delta-opioid receptor agonist for the treatment of pain

For the treatment of pain, the design of a bifunctional mu-opioid receptor (MOR)/delta-opioid receptor (DOR) agonist is an effective strategy to seek safer opioids with higher antinociceptive efficacy and diminished adverse side effects. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a...
