Alvimopan dihydrate (ADL 8-2698 dihydrate) is a potent, selective, orally active and reversible μ-opioid receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 1.7 nM. Alvimopan dihydrate has selectivity for μ-opioid receptor (Ki=0.47 nM) over κ- and δ-opioid receptors (Kis=100, 12 nM, respectively). Alvimopan dihydrate can be used for the research of postoperative ileus[1][2][3].
Alvimopan inhibits the loperamide-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes containing the cloned human μ-opioid receptor, with an IC50 of 1.7 nM[1].
Alvimopan (0.1-1.0 mg/kg; p.o.) partially antagonizes the slowing of small intestinal transit of 113Sn-labelled microspheres in rats[3].
Alvimopan (3 mg/kg; p.o.) has no effect on the visceromotor behavioural responses (VMR) induced by noxious colorectal distension (CRD) in conscious rats[3].
