Notes: Herkinorin (Item No. 20925) is an analytical reference standard that is functionally categorized as an opioid. It is a natural neoclerodane diterpene from S. divinorum that preferentially activates the µ-opioid receptor.{34410,34411} Unlike the peptide DAMGO (Item No. 21553), herkinorin activates µ-opioid receptors without inducing arrestin-mediated receptor internalization.{34410,34414} Herkinorin has antinociceptive effects in rats.{34412} It has been identified as a novel psychoactive substance in multiple agitated emergency department patients screened in a non-targeted manner.{34413} This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
