MR-2034
Pharmaceutical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MR-2034, or Mr-2034, also known as (â)-MR-2033, is a selective κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist of the benzomorphan family.[1][2] Unlike other benzomorphan KOR agonists like cyclazocine and alazocine, MR-2034 does not also act on sigma receptors.[2] In addition to the KOR, it has affinity for the μ-opioid receptor (MOR), but does not activate this receptor.[2] The drug produces dose-dependent hallucinogenic and dysphoric effects in humans, as well as other effects such as dizziness, anxiety, and sedation.[3][2] These effects can be blocked by the non-selective opioid receptor antagonist naloxone.[2] The preceding findings led to the conclusion that the hallucinogenic and dysphoric effects of benzomorphans are mediated by the KOR rather than by sigma receptors.[2] MR-2034 was first described in the scientific literature by 1975[4][5] and its hallucinogenic effects in humans were described in 1986.[2]
