Mechanism of action

Oliceridine binds to mu-opioid receptors and preferentially activates G-protein coupled signaling over beta-arrestin pathways, which may reduce some opioid-related adverse effects compared to traditional mu-opioid agonists. This biased signaling approach aims to maintain analgesic efficacy while potentially decreasing respiratory depression, constipation, and other side effects associated with conventional opioids.
