XI'AN, China, Dec. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Long-term use of analgesics such as morphine leads to "tolerance" that reduces drug efficacy. In such cases, dose escalation may be required to achieve the same analgesic effects. The key molecular mechanism of morphine tolerance is its inefficiency in inducing mu-opioid receptor (MOR) endocytosis. None of the currently available strategies to counter morphine tolerance address this underlying molecular mechanism. Moreover, understanding how drugs work is crucial to determine their efficacy. There is also an unmet need for new diagnostic biomarkers that can help identify diseases at an early stage. The October issue of JPA features three articles that address these issues and systematically lay a foundation for future studies and treatment strategies.

Key Points: 
  • XI'AN, China, Dec. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Long-term use of analgesics such as morphine leads to "tolerance" that reduces drug efficacy.
  • The October issue of JPA features three articles that address these issues and systematically lay a foundation for future studies and treatment strategies.
  • In the second study , researchers dug deeper into the anticancer mechanisms of the drug 'pracinostat,' which is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi).
  • Corresponding author Prof. Xinan Wu speculates by saying, "Our findings could aid in adjusting drug dosage or predicting renal injury via OAT channels."
