Description
Dermorphin – Potent Opioid Research Peptide
Dermorphin 5 mg is a naturally occurring heptapeptide originally isolated from the skin secretions of South American tree frogs (Phyllomedusa sauvagei). It exhibits exceptionally high affinity and selectivity for μ-opioid receptors, showing potency many times greater than morphine in preclinical models.
Due to its strong receptor binding and low tolerance profile, Dermorphin is extensively studied for its analgesic properties, neurochemical modulation, and potential applications in pain management research.
Key Features & Research Applications
💊 Powerful Analgesic Properties:
Demonstrates potent pain-relieving effects through μ-opioid receptor activation, significantly stronger than traditional opioids in animal models.
🧠 Neurochemical Modulation:
Affects neurotransmission and receptor sensitivity, providing insights into opioid receptor dynamics and central nervous system signaling.
🧬 High Potency & Selectivity:
Up to 30–40 times more potent than morphine, with high receptor specificity and reduced tolerance development in research models.
🧩 Neuroscience Research:
Used to study receptor binding kinetics, pain modulation mechanisms, and opioid peptide signaling pathways.
🩹 Potential Applications:
Explored for pain management, neuropharmacology, and peptide-receptor interaction studies.
