Schinus terebinthifolia leaf lectin has central and peripheral antinociceptive action mediated by its carbohydrate-recognition domain and delta-opioid receptors

Amanda de Oliveira Marinho et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the antinociceptive activity of S. terebinthifolia leaf lectin (SteLL) and found that it has both peripheral and central analgesic effects, which are mediated through modulation of opioid receptors without affecting motor coordination in animals.
