Chemistry:JNJ-20788560

From HandWiki

JNJ-20788560 is a potent opioid drug selective for the delta opioid receptor.[1]

Mechanism of action

It works by activating opioid receptors, but it is selective for the δ-opioid receptor. This selectivity allows this drug to have less side effects than opioids such as morphine.

Tests have revealed that JNJ-20788560 does not produce hypoventilation, tolerance, or physical dependence.[2]
