Abstract

Although opioids are excellent analgesics, they are associated with severe short- and long-term side effects that are especially concerning for the treatment of chronic pain. Peripherally acting opioid receptor agonists promise to mitigate the more serious centrally mediated side effects of opioids, and the goal of this paper is to identify and elaborate on recent advances in these peripheral opioid receptor therapeutics.
