Endomorphins and ohmefentanyl in the inhibition of immunosuppressant function in rat peritoneal macrophages: An experimental in vitro study The potential immunosuppressant effects of opioids might have clinical implications. The effects of endomorphins (EMs) and ohmefentanyl (OMF) on cultured rat peritoneal macrophages remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate
and psychological dependence. The effects of (-)-cis-(3R,4S,2'R) ohmefentanyl (F9202), (+)-cis-(3R,4S,2'S) ohmefentanyl (F9204), dihydroetorphine (DHE) and morphine on [(35)S]GTP gamma S binding, forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, and receptor internalization were studied in CHO cells stably expressing HA-tagged mu-opioid receptors (CHO-HA-MOR). cAMP overshoot in response to the withdrawal of these compound
