Description
Dermorphin is a potent μ-opioid receptor agonist peptide derived from frog skin, primarily used in scientific research to study analgesic mechanisms and opioid activity.
Effects
Strong analgesic effect, 40-100 times more potent than morphine; acts on the central nervous system; may induce excitation or sedation; dose-dependent risk of respiratory depression; long-term use can lead to tolerance and dependence.
Usage
For research use: typically supplied as a lyophilized powder, reconstitute with sterile water or saline; dosage depends on experimental design, commonly administered subcutaneously or intravenously, cycle duration per study protocol.
Suitable for
For laboratory research use only; suitable for pharmacology, neuroscience, pain research, and related fields.
Not suitable for
Human use; pregnant and breastfeeding women; individuals allergic to opioids; those at risk of respiratory depression; children and the elderly.
Ingredients
Dermorphin (synthetic peptide, sequence H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2)
Storage
Store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; use immediately after reconstitution or store short-term at 2-8°C.
Shelf life
