Mechanism of action
editOndelopran appears to be an antagonist at opioid receptors,[2] which means it blocks the action of other opioids (including endogenous opioids like endorphins) by preventing them from binding to the receptor. It antagonizes the three primary opioid receptors with potency of 0.4 (mu), 0.6 (kappa), and 1.9 nM (delta).[3]
Potential use
editA study has shown that treatment with ondelopran reduces the amount of alcohol intake (significantly more than in the placebo group), which means it could be a good path for the treatment of alcoholism.[4] Another test also displays more results which go in the same conclusion.[3]
