NAQ
NAQ is a potent and selective μ opioid receptor partial agonist, with a Ki of 0.55 nM. NAQ shows selectivity for Mu opioid receptor over the δ receptor (Ki=132.50 nM) and the κ receptor (Ki=26.45 nM). NAQ can be used for the research of opioid withdrawal or dependence.
For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

NAQ is a μ opioid receptor (MOR) partial agonist, with an EC50 of 4.36 nM in MOR-expressing CHO cell line[1].
NAQ (45 min) inhibits hERG with an IC50 of 220 nM in CHO-K1 cells stably transfected with human hERG cDNA[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
NAQ (0.32-10 mg/kg; s.c.) produces weak intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) facilitation in rats but more robust ICSS facilitation during and after Morphine treatment and also reverses Morphine withdrawal-associated depression of ICSS[2].
