Application

Naloxone methiodide has been used as inhibitor of opioid receptor in fish and mice. Naloxone methiodide has been used to block opioid neurotransmission.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Naloxone methiodide has low affinity for opioid receptors than naloxone. Administration of naloxone inhibits opioid receptor and opioid-induced respiratory depression.
Quaternary salt of naloxone that, like the parent compound, is a nonselective antagonist at opioid receptors. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

Recent studies have shown that opioid treatment can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production and counteract various neuropathic pain syndromes. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can promote immune cell differentiation by increasing leukocytes (mainly opioid-containing polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells), suggesting a potential beneficial role

Studies in both rodents and humans have shown that acute inflammatory pain experienced during the perinatal period produces long-term decreases in pain sensitivity (hypoalgesia) (Grunau et al., 1994a, 2001; Ren et al., 2004; LaPrairie and Murphy, 2007). To date, the
