Abstract
The term “atypical opioid peptides” as used in this article requires definition. Opioid activity may be displayed by compounds with alkaloid or with peptide structure. Opioids with peptide structure may be of natural origin or they may be synthetic derivatives of the natural compounds. The natural opioid peptides may be subdivided again in “typical” and “atypical” opioid peptides; their synthetic derivatives thus may be subdivided in “typical” and “atypical” opioid peptide analogues.
