Casokefamide (INN), also known as β-casomorphin 4027 (β-CM-4027) and [D-Ala2,4,Tyr5]-β-casomorphin-5-amide, is a peripherally-specific, synthetic opioid pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-D-Ala-Tyr-NH2.[1] 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.[1][2] Unlike other casomorphins, which are generally selective μ-opioid receptor agonists, casokefamide binds to both the μ- and δ-opioid receptors.[1] In a clinical study, casokefamide was found to be effective via the oral route for the treatment of chronic diarrhea, and did not produce any side effects.[2] However, further clinical development was not pursued and it was never marketed.
