Derived from the β-casomorphin sequence, it was designed with the intention of improving resistance to digestive enzymes so that it could potentially be used as an antidiarrheal medicine. Unlike other casomorphins, which are generally selective μ-opioid receptor agonists, casokefamide binds to both the μ- and δ-opioid receptors.
