To this day, there is no opioid that binds selectively in peripheral tissue. The binding of opioids in central and peripheral tissues is what results in long term addiction. Opioids, such as morphine, bind at physiological and injured pH. Decreasing the pKa of the morphine molecule leads to selective binding in injured tissues only. The
