Scientific Background: An opiod antagonist with a very similar activity profile to naloxone, however, it displays slower onset and longer duration of action (1). It antagonizes the effects of salvinorin (2) (delta-agonist) as well as herkinorin (3) (mu-agonist). Has been used as a therapeutic for treatment of alcohol dependence (4).
