Methadone but not Morphine Inhibits Lubiprostone-Stimulated Cl− Currents in T84 Intestinal Cells and Recombinant Human ClC-2, but not CFTR Cl− Currents

In clinical trials, methadone, but not morphine, appeared to prevent beneficial effects of lubiprostone, a ClC-2 Cl− channel activator, on opioid-induced constipation. Effects of methadone and morphine on lubiprostone-stimulated Cl− currents were measured by short circuit current (Isc) across T84 ce...
