Title:
PEPTIDES FOR OPIOID TOLERANCE BY BLOCKING RECEPTORS DIMERIZATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/243698
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Problem The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel method for prevention and/or treatment of opioid tolerance or opioid dependence. Specifically, the purpose of the present invention is to develop peptide-based blockers to block MOR-DOR and KOR-DOR heterodimerization. In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to develop homodimer blockers for MOR, DOR, and KOR which modulate their downstream signaling without affecting their internalization. Solution The present invention is a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for the prevention and/or treatment of opioid tolerance or opioid dependence comprising the peptide which inhibits the dimer formation of the opioid receptor, wherein the above opioid receptor dimer is a heterodimer or a homodimer formed from one or two opioid receptors selected from the group consisting of the μ type (MOR), the κ type (KOR), and the δ type (DOR).
