Morphin
Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic that primarily acts through the activation of μ-opioid receptors. It is used for the treatment of severe pain but carries a high risk of dependence and side effects such as respiratory depression. Morphine is a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from the opium poppy and plays a central role in pain therapy.
Mechanism of Action
- μ-opioid receptor agonist
