Preliminary scope of work in English
Student will make a detailed report about methadone, opioid drug synthesized in 1960´s for maintenance therapy of patients with heroin addiction, which is nowadays the first-choice treatment used to slash craving and normalize physiological homeostasis (for review see Kreek, 2000). Methadone exhibits the higher relative efficacy than heroin and its active metabolites when interacting with µ-OR in former heroin addicts when on methadone maintenance therapy (Martin, 2007).
