Detection of coffee protein has a stronger effect than morphine

According to a reporter in Latin America, Brazilian scientists have just discovered that a coffee protein has the same analgesic and sedative effects as morphine, and even has a stronger and longer lasting effect.

The protein chain in coffee is more powerful than protein

Scientists at the University of Brasilia and Embrapa Agricultural Research Company say that there are coffee proteins that have analgesic and sedative effects on rats and now Embrapa is proposing a patent for this invention by It may open up the prospect of drug preparation.

The new protein in coffee beans is stronger than morphine.

While trying to isolate some of the coffee's genes to determine their effect on product quality, a Brazilian biologist happened to discover a sequence of genes that is similar in structure to opioids. course in the human body.

After this discovery, scientists focused on the protein segment and evaluated their function through experiments on mammals.

Experiments on mice showed that this protein sequence has morphine-like properties , but the analgesic and sedative effects are even greater and prolonged, up to 4 hours and no side effects have been detected.

However, Embrapa also confirmed that the production of painkillers or sedatives from coffee proteins requires further research to refine protein and consider their effects on the human body.
