## Abstract Excessive glutamate transmission in the basal ganglia is a major factor in the neural mechanisms underlying parkinsonian akinesia. Activation of K opioid receptors causes a presynaptic reduction in glutamate release. K opioid receptors are concentrated in those regions of the basal gang
Reinforcing properties of drugs of abuse are reduced by the coadministration of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists. This effect is related to the inhibition of dopamine (DA) release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) produced by the acute administration of KOR agonists. The present study was undertake
The design and synthesis of 10-oxo derivative of N-cyclopropylmethyl-(-)-613-acetylthio dihydronormorphine (4) are described. The result of pharmacological assays indicate that compound 4 acts as a tt-opioid receptor antagonist and K-opioid receptor agonist which is suggested to be more potent analg
