The unique pharmacology of these heteromers may present a novel analgesic target. However, the role of m-d heteromers in sensory neurons involved in pain and opioid analgesia remains unclear, particularly during neuropathic pain. We examined the effects of spinal nerve injury on m-d heteromer expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and the effects of a m-d by heteromer–targeting agonist, CYM51010, on neuropathic pain behavior in rats and mice. An L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in rats Lc+LFovvA8kwLlXep+KVmBVRPo9c/w+jP3jM+VLppt6EIGY6AvlsMLr0U4h2Wl4ClQhoxQwnxSxh7PCm3iIk+ncF1wL2pK61fHxkxqEG1VREkSDLiG2Pu36FVfirG5EBAMD/bDeF43o= significantly decreased m-d heteromer expression in L5 DRG but increased heteromer levels in uninjured L4 DRG. Importantly, in SNL rats, subcutaneous injection of CYM51010 inhibited mechanical hypersensitivity in a dose-related manner (EC50: 1.09 mg/kg) and also reversed heat hyperalgesia and attenuated ongoing pain (2 mg/kg, subcutaneously). HEK-293T cell surface-labeled with m- and d-ORs internalized both receptors after exposure to CYM51010. By contrast, in cells transfected with m-OR alone, CYM51010 was significantly less effective at inducing receptor internalization. Electrophysiologic studies showed that CYM51010 inhibited the C-component and windup phenomenon in spinal wide dynamic range neurons of SNL rats. The pain inhibitory effects of CYM51010 persisted in morphine-tolerant rats but was markedly attenuated in m-OR knockout mice. Our studies show that spinal nerve injury may increase m-d heterodimerization in uninjured DRG neurons, and that m-d heteromers may be a potential therapeutic target for relieving neuropathic pain, even under conditions of morphine tolerance.

    INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF PROLONGED MU OPIOID RECEPTOR ACTIVATION UPON OPIOID RECEPTOR HETEROMERIZATION by Edmund Wing Ong A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Pharmacology & Toxicology in the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada March, 2017 Copyright © Edmund Wing Ong, 2017 Abstract Opioid receptors are the sites of action for morphine and most other clinically-used opioid drugs. Abundant evidence now demonstrates that different opioid receptor types can physically associate to form heteromers. Owing to their constituent monomers’ involvement in analgesia, mu/delta opioid receptor (M/DOR) heteromers have been a particular focus of attention. Understandings of the physiological relevance of M/DOR formation remain limited in large part due to the reliance of existing M/DOR findings upon contrived heterologous systems. This thesis investigated the physiological relevance of M/DOR generation following prolonged MOR activation. To address M/DOR in endogenous tissues, suitable model systems and experimental tools were established. This included a viable dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron primary culture model, antisera specifically directed against M/DOR, a quantitative immunofluorescence colocalizational analysis method, and a floxed-Stop, FLAG-tagged DOR conditional knock-in mouse model. The development and implementation of such techniques make it possible to conduct experiments addressing the nature of M/DOR heteromers in systems with compelling physiological relevance. Seeking to both reinforce and extend existing findings from heterologous systems, it was first necessary to demonstrate the existence of M/DOR heteromers. Using antibodies directed against M/DOR itself as well as constituent monomers, M/DOR heteromers were identified in endogenous tissues and demonstrated to increase in abundance following prolonged mu opioid receptor (MOR) activation by morphine.

However, there is controversy in this area with improvement of morphine-induced constipation and reduced respiratory effects in βarr2( / ) mice.

Kaye6 & Anh Ngo1 Published online: 18 March 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to summarize the current understanding of opioid pathways in mediating and/or modulating analgesia and adverse effects. Oliceridine is highlighted as a novel mu-opioid receptor agonist with selective activation of G protein and β-arrestin signaling pathways. Recent Findings Oliceridine (TRV130; [(3-methoxythiophen-2-yl)methyl]({2-[(9R)-9-(pyridin-2-yl)-6-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-9- yl]ethyl})amine) is a novel MOR agonist that selectively activates G protein and β-arrestin signaling pathways. A growing body of evidence suggests that compared to existing MOR agonists, Oliceridine and other G protein-selective modulators may produce therapeutic analgesic effects with reduced adverse effects. Summary Oliceridine provides analgesic benefits of a pure opioid agonist while limiting related adverse effects mediated through the β-arrestin pathway. Recent insights into the function and structure of G protein-coupled receptors has led to the development of novel analgesic therapies. Keywords Oliceridine . TRV130 .

    Drug Monograph Brand Name: Olinvyk Generic Name: oliceridine Manufacturer: Trevena Drug Class: Analgesic / Central Nervous System Agent Uses: Labeled: Indicated for use in adults for the management of acute pain; severe enough to require an intravenous opioid and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate Unlabeled: No unlabeled uses reported Mechanism of Action: Oliceridine is a full opioid agonist and is relatively selective for the mu-opioid receptor. The full mechanism of oliceridine is unknown, however, CNS opioid receptors for endogenous compounds with opioid-like activity have been identified throughout the brain and spinal cord and are thought to play a role in the analgesic effect of this drug. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Tmax Not reported Vd 90 – 126 L t1/2 2.1 hours Clearance Metabolic Protein binding 77% Bioavailability Not reported Metabolism: Major route of metabolism for olinvyk is primarily by the liver. The main contributing CYP 450 enzymes include CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, but also involvement from CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 have been noted.

Efficacy: Viscusi ER, Skobieranda F, Soergel DG, Cook E, Burt DA, Singla N. Apollo-1: a randomized placebo and active-controlled phase III study investigating oliceridine (trv130), a g protein-biased ligand at the µ- opioid receptor, for management of moderate-to-severe acute pain following bunionectomy. Journal of pain research. 2019;12:927-943. Study Design: Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled study Description of Study: Methods: 418 patients were randomized to receive either the study drug oliceridine at 3 different doses (0.1 mg, 0.35 mg, 0.5 mg), the active-control morphine, or placebo in patients undergoing surgery.
