Journal: Kappa opioid receptor antagonism protects working memory performance from mild stress exposure in Rhesus macaques. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 20, 2022 NMRA-140 protected WM performance from the detrimental effects of FG7142-induced stress and exhibited no significant effect under non-stress conditions. Collectively, these data highlight the functional influence of the KOR system in mediating stress-induced dysfunction of executive processes and suggest that modulating KOR activity could offer therapeutic benefit in stress-related neurobehavioral disorders.

Stress, Pain and Reward Interactions and Their Clinical Relevance (713 A) - Jul 19, 2022 - Abstract #IASP2022IASP_598; However, the potential antidepressant benefits of this and other kappa antagonists such as BTRX 335140 (BlackThorn Therpeutics) are still being realized and investigated and this segment will update the status of this research. New behavioral approaches that aim to reverse fear- and stress-based brain learning will be mentioned in context, recognizing that pharmaceutical interventions may realize their greatest benefit when used to enhance the effects other interventions.

Journal: Chronic pain recruits hypothalamic dynorphin/kappa opioid receptor signalling to promote wakefulness and vigilance. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 30, 2022 Mice with chronic neuropathic pain also showed disrupted NREM and total sleep that was normalized by systemic administration of two structurally different KOR antagonists, norbinaltorphimine (nor-BNI) and NMRA-140, currently in phase II clinical development, or by CRISPR/Cas9 editing of PVN KOR, consistent with endogenous KOR activation disrupting sleep in chronic pain...Notably, while this mechanism is likely beneficial in the short-term, disruption of the homeostatic need for sleep over longer periods may become maladaptive resulting in sustained pain chronicity. A novel approach for treatment of chronic pain may thus result from normalization of chronic pain-related sleep disruption by KOR antagonism.
