Conolidine’s analgesic effects stem from its interaction with non-opioid pain pathways. As opposed to opioids, which bind to µ-opioid receptors inside the central anxious system, conolidine modulates alternate molecular targets. A Science Advancements review found that conolidine interacts with the atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3/CXCR7, which regulates opioid peptide availability. https://thebookpage.com/story6305825/about-alternative-natural-pain-relief-to-replace-traditional-painkillers
