Ro64-6198 je nociceptinski lek koji se koristi u naučnim istraživanjima. On deluje kao potentan i selektivan agonist nociceptinskog receptora (ORL-1), sa više od sto puta većom selektivnošću za taj receptor nego za druge opioidne receptore.[3] On proizvodi anksiolitičke efekte u životinjskim studijama koji su ekvivalentni sa učinkom benzodiazepinskim lekovima,[4] ali nema antikonvulzivno dejstvo i ne proizvodi bilo kakve uočljive promene ponašanja.[5] Međutim, on utiče na kratkotrajnu memoriju,[6] i sprečava stresom indukovanu anoreksiju.[7][8] On takođe ima antitusivno dejstvo,[9] i umanjuje nagrađujuće i analgetsko delovanje od morfina, mada ne sprečava razvoj zavisnosti.[10][11][12] Bilo je pokazano da redukuje self-administraciju alkohola kod životinja i suzbija povraćaje u životinjskim modelima alkoholizma. ORL-1 agonisti možda mogu da nađu primenu u lečenju alkoholizma.[13]
