MIF-1 TFA (Melanostatin), an endogenous brain peptide, is a potent dopamine receptor allosteric modulator. MIF-1 TFA inhibits melanin formation. MIF-1 TFA blocks the effects of opioid receptor activation to modulate the analgesic effects. MIF-1 TFA accesses from the blood to the CNS by directly crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB)[1][2][3].
