Kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonists have recently shown potential for treating drug addiction and 1,2,3 4 8 depression. Arodyn (Ac[Phe ,Arg ,D-Ala ]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2), an acetylated dynorphin A (Dyn A) analog, has demonstrated potent and selective KOR antagonism, but can be rapidly metabolized by proteases. Cyclization of arodyn could enhance metabolic stability and potentially stabilize the bioactive conformation to give potent and selective analogs. Accordingly, novel cyclization strategies utilizing ring closing metathesis (RCM) were pursued. However, side reactions involving olefin isomerization of O-allyl groups limited the scope of the RCM reactions, and their use to explore structure-activity relationships of aromatic residues. Here we developed synthetic methodology in a model dipeptide study to facilitate RCM involving Tyr(All) residues. Optimized conditions that included microwave heating and the use of isomerization suppressants were applied to the synthesis of cyclic arodyn analogs.

Increased consumption, largely secondary to increased prescription over the last 2 decades, has led to renewed interests in its pharmacology, and opioids in general. The behavioral impacts of oxycodone (and other opioids) are associated with several factors such as its chemical properties, pharmacodynamic properties, and pharmacokinetic parameters. The solubility and rate of absorption are essential factors that participate in the rapid concentration of oxycodone in the brain. Alterations in oxycodone metabolism have been associated with dose‐dependent kinetics, first-pass metabolism, and variations in genetic characters (poor or extensive metabolizers).

  • Updated Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Oxycodone
    Clinical Pharmacokinetics https://doi.org/10.1007/s40262-018-00731-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Updated Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Oxycodone Mari Kinnunen1 · Panu Piirainen1 · Hannu Kokki1 · Pauliina Lammi1 · Merja Kokki2 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Global oxycodone consumption has increased sharply during the last two decades, and, in 2008, oxycodone consumption surpassed that of morphine. As oxycodone was synthesized in 1916 and taken to clinical use a year later, it has not undergone the same approval process required by today’s standards. Most of the basic oxycodone pharmacokinetic (PK) data are from the 1990s and from academic research; however, a lot of additional data have been published over the last 10 years. In this review, we describe the latest oxycodone data on special populations, including neonates, children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly. A lot of important drug interaction data have been published that must also be taken into account when oxycodone is used concomitantly with cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inducers and inhibitors and/or CYP2D6 inhibitors. In addition, we gathered data on abuse-deterrent oxycodone formulations, and the PK of alternate administration routes, i.e. transmucosal and epidural, are also described. 1 Introduction Oxycodone was synthesized in 1916 and introduced for clinical use in 1917 in Germany [2].

  • Opioid Peptides in Peripheral Pain Control

Lipkowski Mossakowski Medical Research Centre Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw; *Email: [email protected] Opioids have a long history of therapeutic use as a remedy for various pain states ranging from mild acute nociceptive pain to unbearable chronic advanced or end-stage disease pain. Analgesia produced by classical opioids is mediated extensively by binding to opioid receptors located in the brain or the spinal cord. Nevertheless, opioid receptors are also expressed outside the CNS in the periphery and may become valuable assets in eliciting analgesia devoid of shortcomings typical for the activation of their central counterparts. The discovery of endogenous opioid peptides that participate in the formation, transmission, modulation and perception of pain signals offers numerous opportunities for the development of new analgesics. Novel peptidic opioid receptor analogs, which show limited access through the blood brain barrier may support pain therapy requiring prolonged use of opioid drugs.

The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative pain management, haemodynamic stability and side effects between oxycodone (OXY) and fentanyl (FEN) use in patients under dexmedetomidine sedation. Methods: Two hundred and five adults with an American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status score of I to II were included in this study. Patients were assigned to the OXY (n=101) or FEN (n=104) group.

    March 24, 2005 Cara Therapeutics Initiates Clinical Trial of Novel Pain Drug Candidate Cara Therapeutics, Inc. announced today that it had initiated dosing in a Phase 1 clinical trial for CR665, its novel drug candidate for the treatment of postoperative pain. The single-dose protocol is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2005. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of CR665 in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, ascending single intravenous dose, dose-escalation trial in healthy male and female volunteers. The study is being conducted in the U.K. "CR665 represents a very significant development opportunity in the treatment of pain because of its unique mechanism of action," stated Derek Chalmers, Cara's President and CEO. "By acting with unprecedented selectivity at pain relieving receptors on peripheral nerves, and avoiding receptors in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, CR665 has the potential to provide pain relief with minimal side effects.”Dr. Chalmers added, “We believe that CR665's distinct mechanism could not only provide great patient benefit compared to currently used drugs for treating postoperative pain, but also result in significant reductions in healthcare costs by minimizing hospitalization time.” About CR665 CR665 is the lead development candidate from a series of highly selective peripheral kappa opioid receptor agonists. In animal studies, CR665 exhibited unprecedented selectivity for the peripheral kappa opioid receptor and superior efficacy in producing pain relief compared to non-selective opioid drugs, such as morphine. In addition, unlike currently marketed non-selective opioid receptor agonists, CR665 does not produce inhibition of intestinal transit (ileus), induce respiratory depression, or elicit CNS side effects of euphoria or addiction in animal models.
