SR-17018 is a drug which acts as a biased agonist at the μ-opioid receptor, selective for activation of the G-protein signalling pathway over β-arrestin 2 recruitment.[1] In animal studies it produces analgesic effects but with less respiratory depression and development of tolerance than conventional opioids.[2][3][4][5] SR-17018 is also a noncompetitive opioid agonist.[6] It produces very little hyperactivity in mice, does not induce locomotor sensitization and counteracts the hyperactivity produced by morphine.[7]
