NCIt definition : A pegylated form of naloxone, a peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist,
that can be used to reduce opioid-induced symptoms. Upon administration, naloxegol
binds to and blocks mu-opioid receptors in the peripheral nervous system. This prevents
peripheral opioid receptor activation and abrogates opioid-induced side effects, such
as opioid-induced constipation (OIC). Pegylation of naloxone reduces permeability
across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prevents this agent from interfering with
the analgesic activity of opioid receptor agonists.;
