Abstract
G protein-biased mu opioid receptor (GPB-MOR) agonists constitute an emerging class of opioid analgesics. The first-in-class GPB-MOR agonist TRV130 (oliceridine) produces typical opioid-like abuse-related effects in rodents and humans. Although GPB-MOR agonists may be safer than conventional opioids on some endpoints, prevailing evidence suggests that they will retain opioid-like abuse potential.Entities:
