Uses
β-Chlornaltrexamine dihydrochloride (β-CNA dihydrochloride) is a potent long-term opioid receptor blocker. β-Chlornaltrexamine dihydrochloride can effectively block the inhibitory effect of κ opioid receptor agonists on dopamine release. β-Chlornaltrexamine dihydrochloride can be used to study the mechanism of pain perception[1].
