β-Funaltrexamine hydrochloride is a derivative of naloxone. This compound is characterized by the addition of a funaltrexamine group to the naloxone molecule. β-Funaltrexamine hydrochloride is a selective mu-opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist. The mu-opioid receptor is a member of the opioid family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Primarily, β-Funaltrexamine hydrochloride is utilized in biochemical research to investigate the functioning of opioid receptors, including their role in signal transduction mechanisms within the central nervous system. Its high affinity and specificity for opioid receptors allow researchers to study the effects of blocking these receptors. Furthermore, the irreversible binding nature of β-Funaltrexamine hydrochloride to opioid receptors makes it useful for distinguishing between different receptor subtypes and understanding their individual contributions to opioid effects.
