Description: | Difelikefalin (CR-845; FE-202845) is a peripherally restricted and selective agonist of kappa opioid receptor (KOR). Difelikefalin produces anti-inflammatory effects and has the potential in modulating pruritus in conditions such as chronic kidney disease[1][2]. |
Target: | kappa opioid receptor (KOR)[1] |
In Vitro: | Difelikefalin (CR-845; FE-202845) does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Difelikefalin does not bind to mu opioid receptors or any other receptors beside KORs[1]. |
