  • Publication number: 20140066475
    Abstract: Benzomorphan compounds are found to be useful for treating, ameliorating or preventing pruritus, and in particular pruritus associated with (including induced by) the administration of opioids. Antipruritic activity is believed to be mediated through the dual action of the compounds as mu opioid receptor antagonists and kappa opioid receptor agonists. Pharmaceutical compositions contain therapeutically effective amounts of these useful compounds, optionally in combination with second therapeutic agents, such as opioid or non-opioid analgesics or other compounds.
