Salvinorin B mesylate (Mesyl Sal B) is a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist that is more potent than salvinorin A (Item No. 11487) in CHO cells transfected with the human κ-opioid receptor (EC50s = 30 and 40 nM, respectively).1,2 It is a mesylated version of salvinorin B (Item No. 11488) and is highly selective for κ-opioid receptors over µ- and δ-opioid receptors.1 In vitro, it increases dopamine uptake via the dopamine transporter (DAT) in an ERK1/2-dependent manner but does not alter expression of DAT on the cell membrane.3 In rats, it increases the pain threshold and blocks reinstatement of cocaine drug-seeking.
