Loperamide Hydrochloride

Loperamide Hydrochloride is an opiate agonist with selectivity for the MOR (μ-opiod receptor). This specificity for μ-opioid receptors and limited penetrability into the brain prevent Loperamide from demonstrating central systemic effects generally associated with opiates. Loperamide is shown to have an effect on the Ca2+ flux through high-voltage-activated calcium channels in response to high levels of extracellular K+, and at higher concentrations Loperamide is also a calcium channel protein inhibitor via the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-operated ion channel.
