Spinorphin is an
antiallodynic,[4] and anti-inflammatory properties.[1] The mechanism of action of spinorphin has not been fully elucidated (i.e., how it acts to inhibit the enkephalinases), but it has been found to act as an antagonist of the P2X3 receptor,[5] and as a weak partial agonist/antagonist of the FP1 receptor.[1]
