CR 665 acetate

Description

CR 665 JNJ 38488502 acetate is a kappa-opioid agonist that may effectively treat visceral pain by activating receptors on afferent nerves within the gut. CR 665 acetate exhibits peripheral selectivity, differentiating its pharmacokinetic profile from that of non-selective opioids like oxycodone. CR 665 acetate has demonstrated a beneficial effect on visceral pain tolerance thresholds without the delayed analgesic response characteristic of opioids that penetrate the brain. CR 665 acetate is proposed for use in managing postoperative pain due to its pain-relieving properties.
