| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Remifentanil and fentanyl are two major opioid analgesics often used for perioperative analgesia. We investigated the desensitization profiles of remifentanil and fentanyl to the μ-opioid receptor using human embryonic kidney 293 cells stably expressing HaloTag-tagged μ-opioid receptor. The efficacy and potency during the first administration of remifentanil or fentanyl in activating the μ-opioid receptor were almost equal. Similarly, in β arrestin recruitment, which determines desensitization processes, they showed no significant difference. Repetitive administration of fentanyl resulted in a stronger μ-opioid receptor desensitization potency than that of remifentanil. Subsequently, we demonstrated that remifentanil possessed a higher internalization potency of the μ-opioid receptor than fentanyl by the real-time visualization assay.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
レミフェンタニルとフェンタニルは効果発現時間や作用持続時間など臨床的な特徴はやや異なるものの鎮痛力価は同等といわれ、周術期疼痛管理に用いられる標準的なオピオイド鎮痛薬である。オピオイド鎮痛薬の使用においては耐性形成や痛覚過敏誘発などの問題が指摘されているが、本研究成果はこれらの発生メカニズムに関与する分子機序を示唆するものであり学術的意義がある。また、これらの現象を踏まえた最適な周術期のオピオイド鎮痛薬使用プロトコルを提唱する基盤となる成果が得られたと考えられ、より優れた周術期疼痛管理に貢献できる点で社会的意義もあると言える。
