Hill, R., Sanchez, J., Lemel, L., Antonijevic, M., Hosking, Y., Mistry, S. N., …Canals, M. (2023). Assessment of the potential of novel and classical opioids to induce respiratory depression in mice. British Journal of Pharmacology, 180(24), 3160-3174. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.16199

Background and Purpose Opioid-induced respiratory depression limits the use of μ-opioid receptor agonists in clinical settings and is the main cause of opioid overdose fatalities. The relative potential of different opioid agonists to induce respira... Read More about Assessment of the potential of novel and classical opioids to induce respiratory depression in mice.
