Biological Activity

Potent naturally occuring non-nitrogenous κ-opioid selective agonist that displays high affinity at both native (Ki = 4.3 nM) and cloned (Ki = 16 nM) κ-opioid receptors. Also exhibits allosteric modulation of μ-opioid receptor binding. Reported to be brain-penetrant and displays psychoactive properties..
