RF9 is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a potent and selective antagonist for the neuropeptide FF receptors NPFF1 and NPFF2, binding to both NPFF subtypes but with improved selectivity over related targets such as neuropeptide Y receptors compared to older drugs such as BIBP-3226. In animal studies, RF9 increased the analgesic effects of mu-opioid agonists while decreasing some side effects such as hyperalgesia. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
