About Dalargin
Binds delta and mu opioid receptors with peripheral preference due to limited CNS penetration. Reduces gastric acid secretion, promotes mucosal blood flow, and inhibits ulcer formation via prostaglandin-mediated pathways.
A synthetic hexapeptide opioid analog with a leucine-enkephalin core extended by a C-terminal arginine. Developed in the Soviet Union for gastroprotective and analgesic applications. Studied for GI mucosal protection and pain modulation with peripheral preference.
