Structure of DS34942424, an orally potent analgesic without mu opioid receptor agonist activity
1 min read

DS34942424 is a potent oral analgesic discovered using the natural product conolidine as a starting point. While the authors were able to demonstrate that the compound does not exert its activity through the mu-opioid receptor, the mechanism of action is not understood. The identification of non-opioid analgesics are an area of intense interest and hopefully we will learn how this compound works in the near future.
