General description
Opiates derived from the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, have been used for millenia for their anti-diarrheal, analgesic and euphoric properties. More recently, endogenous peptides, enkephalins, dynorphins, and endorphins, were found to bind to the same sites as opiate alkaloids. The receptors for the classical opioids are three related GPCRs, δ, κ, and µ (also known as OP1, OP2 and OP3, respectively), that activate Gi/o to reduce intracellular cAMP levels. Although most clinically used opioids function by activation of the µ opioid receptor, agonists of spinal δ opioid receptors have antinociceptive activity that is independent of µ. In addition, activation of δ increases locomotor activity, inhibits gastrointestinal motility, and decreases respiratory frequency (Dhawan et al., 1996). Agonists for δ opioid receptors also exhibit antidepressant-like activity in animal models (Broom et al., 2002).

Much effort has been placed in cosmetic research for better understanding of the effects of ageing on skin's appearance, structure, mechanical properties and function. It is now of common knowledge that UV radiations induce pre-mature skin ageing notably in the
