Preclinical discovery and development of oliceridine (Olinvyk®) for the treatment of post-operative pain.
Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery 2022 March
INTRODUCTION: Opioids acting at the MOP (mu:µ) receptor produce analgesia but also side effects. There is debate suggesting opioid receptors produce analgesia via G-protein and side-effects via β-arrestin-2 pathways. Opioids targeting G-proteins over the arrestins (bias) offer potential therapeutic advantages. Oliceridine is a putative MOP, G-protein biased agonist.
AREAS COVERED: Oliceridine is selective for MOP receptors with greater activity at G-proteins over arrestins. A substantial body of evidence now points to a simpler pharmacological descriptor of partial agonist. Preclinical in vivo data indicates a robust antinociceptive response of shorter duration than morphine. Apollo trials (Phase-III RCT-bunionectomy/abdominoplasty) describe good analgesic efficacy that was non-inferior to morphine with good tolerability and side-effect profile. There is evidence for an improved respiratory safety profile. Oliceridine is approved by the FDA.
EXPERT OPINION: Oliceridine will be an important addition to the clinical armamentarium for use for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an intravenous opioid analgesic and for whom alternative treatments are inadequate. Respiratory advantage and the possibility of reduced abuse potential are possible advantages over the use of traditional opioids. Based on a number of excellent, highly detailed studies, oliceridine should be described as a partial agonist; this 'label' does not matter.
