MN-25 is a synthetic opioid, which means that it is a man-made drug that mimics the effects of natural opioids. It works by binding to the [[mu-opioid receptor]] in the brain, which is the same receptor that is targeted by drugs like [[morphine]] and [[heroin]]. When MN-25 binds to this receptor, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that result in pain relief.
