Naldemedine (INN, USAN; S-297,995) is a peripherally-selective μ-opioid receptor antagonist under development by Shionogi for the treatment of opioid-induced adverse effects including constipation, nausea, and vomiting.[1][2][3] Clinical studies have thus far found it to possess statistically significant effectiveness for these indications and to be generally well-tolerated with predominantly mild to moderate gastrointestinal side effects.<ref name="Sprawls1997" /[2] No effects indicative of central opioid withdrawal or impact on the analgesic or mydriatic effects of co-administered opioids have been observed.[1] As of May 2012, naldemedine is in phase IIb clinical trials in the United States and Japan.[4]
