Biochem/physiol Actions

BAM8-22 is a selective agonist for the sensory neuron specific G-protein coupled receptors (SNSRs). BAM8-22 inhibits development of morphine tolerance in rats. BAM8-22 is inactive at opioid receptors. Also, BAM8–22 is a potent activator of Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors (Mrgprs), MrgprC11 and hMrgprX1. BAM8-22 produces itch and nociceptive sensations in humans in a histamine-independent manner.
