Agonist Comments
Discrimination of full or partial agonism is very dependent on the level of receptor expression and on the assay used to monitor agonist effects. Many agents may behave as full agonists or potent partial agonists in cell lines expressing cloned receptors in high concentration, but in other environments they may show only weak agonist activity. The identification of agonist activity in the table is largely based on the ability to stimulate GTPγ35S binding in cell lines expressing cloned human μ receptors. Agents giving 85% or greater stimulation than that given by DAMGO have been characterized as Full Agonists [166].

It is still unclear whether endomorphins are endogenous. Morphine occurs endogenously [139].

We have tagged the μ receptor as the primary drug target for hydrocodone based on this drug having the highest affinity at this receptor compared to the κ and δ receptors [128]. Similarly, we have tagged the μ receptor as the primary target of hydromorphone [185].

Methadone is selective for the μ receptor: comparable IC50s at the κ and δ receptors are 512 and 1090nM respectively [140].

[11C]carfentanil (PubChem CID 449698) binds the human μ receptor with a Ki of 0.07 nM, in a [3H]DAMGO displacement assay [67].
