Nalmefene (58895-64-0) is an opioid antagonist. Very similar activity profile to naloxone (Cat.# 10-2442) however displays slower onset and longer duration of action.1 Antagonizes the effects of salvinorin2 (κ-agonist) as well as herkinorin3 (μ-agonist). Nalmefene as been used as a therapeutic for treatment of alcohol dependence.4
