Drug Overview
Cebranopadol is a novel small molecule analgesic, which was discovered by Grünenthal. Cebranopadol represents a novel, first-in-class potent analgesic that has a dual mechanism of action as a potent agonist of both the nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide receptor (NOP) and opioid peptide receptor. This difference in mechanism of action has several advantages. In animal models, cebranopadol demonstrated greater potency for neuropathic pain versus acute pain compared to selective MOP receptor agonist. Additionally, in animal models, NOP receptor agonists demonstrate comparably lower opioid-related side effects, such as respiratory depression.
