Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Utility of Fluorescent Ligands Targeting the ?-Opioid Receptor (2015)
Journal Article

Fluorescently labeled ligands are useful pharmacological research tools for studying receptor localization, trafficking, and signaling processes via fluorescence imaging. They are also employed in fluorescent binding assays. This study is centered on...

Biased Agonism of Endogenous Opioid Peptides at the ?-Opioid Receptor (2015)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2015 by The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. Biased agonism is having a major impact on modern drug discovery, and describes the ability of distinct G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands to activate dif...

Discovery, synthesis, and molecular pharmacology of selective positive allosteric modulators of the ?-opioid receptor (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 American Chemical Society. Allosteric modulators of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have a number of potential advantages compared to agonists or antagonists that bind to the orthosteric site of the receptor. These include the potential fo... Read More about Discovery, synthesis, and molecular pharmacology of selective positive allosteric modulators of the ?-opioid receptor.
