Abstract

The present study characterized the behavioral pharmacology of a novel, mixed-action delta-selective (78:1) opioid receptor agonist, BBI-11008. This glycopeptide drug candidate was tested in assays assessing antinociception (acute, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain-like conditions) and side-effect endpoints (respiratory depression and drug self-administration).
