Notes: Loperamide (Item No. 14875) is an opiate which potently and selectively activates μ opioid receptors (Ki = 0.16 nM) exclusively in the periphery.{23761,23758} N-desmethyl Loperamide is a major metabolite of loperamide.{26350,26349} Like loperamide, N-desmethyl loperamide is a substrate of the ATP-dependent efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein.{26349,26352} As a result, both the parent compound and the metabolite display restricted passage through the blood-brain barrier.{26352,26348} N-desmethyl Loperamide in biological samples can be analyzed by a variety of methods.{26350,26353}
