Specialists have discovered the morphine which is not addictive

Morphine belongs to opioid analgetics in this connection quite often the danger drug dependence is developed at people. Besides, in such drugs there are a lot of other side effects, such as motility disturbances and respiratory impairment. However it is powerful anaesthetic which is very indispensable in certain cases.

Early recognition of oncological diseases is one of the few guarantees on successful treatment. All leading oncologists of the world agree in views about this position. The American scientists have tried to collect the main symptoms of cancer so that ordinary people could use them in everyday life. No sensational nature, but only confirmed medical facts.

Researchers from Tulane University have discovered: there is compound which possesses the same analgesic properties. But it has few side effects, tells us The Daily Mail. So, it is about endomorphin. It is the neuropeptid which is developed in organism. Scientists have carried out the study on rats. They compared endomorphin with morphine.

Endomorphin medicine influenced on the same receptors, as morphine. Study has shown: the preparation relieved the rats from pain for a long time, practically without slowing down their breath. Besides, coordination of movements at experimental animals after morphine strongly worsened. But it didn’t happen with endomorphin.

Also specialists have found: new preparation practically did not cause the addiction. According to scientists, morphine activates glial cells of spinal cord as a result it could be a reason for development of addiction. Endomorphin does not possess such action. Researchers have made some experiments.

Experimental rats spent more time in compartment where they received morphine. But endomorphin has not been connected with similar behavior. In the second experiment rats actively pressed the lever for more injections of morphine. Animals did not make attempts to receive endomorphin. Specialists hope that clinical tests of new preparation on human will begin in the next two years
