AT-121 is an experimental analgesic. It was designed to be bifunctional, acting as an agonist at both the μ-opioid receptor and the nociceptin receptor.^[1] The interaction with the nociceptin receptor is expected to block the abuse and dependence-related side effects that are typical of opioids.^[2] A study in nonhuman primates found that AT-121 has morphine-like analgesic effects, but suppressed the addictive effects.^[1]^[3]
