A tetrapeptide class of biased analgesics from an Australian fungus targets the µ-opioid receptor

An Australian estuarine isolate of Penicillium sp. MST-MF667 yielded 3 tetrapeptides named the bilaids with an unusual alternating LDLD chirality. Given their resemblance to known short peptide opioid agonists, we elucidated that they were weak (K(i) low micromolar) μ-opioid agonists, which led to t...
