a Determined in competitive radioligand binding assays using membrane from CHO expressing the human MOR (CHO-hMOR). b Determined in the [35S]GTPγS binding assay using CHO-hMOR cell membranes. Percentage stimulation (% stim.) relative to DAMGO (reference MOR full agonist). Values are means ± SEM (n = 3-4 independent experiments).
