Geneva — Former White House adviser Amy Pope won a vote in Geneva on Monday to head the U.N. migration agency, prevailing in a tense contest against a Portuguese incumbent who had the support of European countries. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Pope would become the first woman to lead the organization when she begins her five-year term on Oct. 1. Pope, who served as Deputy Director General for Management and Reform at IOM, took leave to campaign against her boss Antonio Vitorino, who has been in the position since 2018. Pope wrote on Twitter she was "humbled and honored" to be chosen by IOM's 175 member states as new director general. "I am ready to work with ALL our member states and global partners to unleash the opportunities provided by effective, orderly and humane migration," she wrote. In 2021, Pope served as Senior Advisor on Migration to U.S. President Joe Biden, who publicly backed her candidacy. "As IOM's largest bilateral donor, the United States strongly supports Ms. Pope's vision and looks forward to working with her to implement the critical reforms necessary to create a more effective, inclusive IOM," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. More than 100 million people are forcibly displaced around the world and IOM seeks to ensure humane and orderly migration and intervenes where needed. Vitorino, a former European Commissioner who is close to his compatriot United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, had touted an increase in the body's annual budget among his successes. Asked about the contest earlier this year, Vitorino described it as unprecedented. "We have never happened to have an incumbent director general that faces a competition with one of his deputy generals. Let's call it an innovation," Vitorino told journalists in March. He said at the time he had Portugal's backing as well as the "strong encouragement" of the European Union.

Low-efficacy mu opioid receptor (MOR) agonists may serve as novel candidate analgesics with improved safety relative to high-efficacy opioids. This study used a recently validated assay of pain-depressed behavior in mice to evaluate a novel series of MOR-selective C9-substituted phenylmorphan opioids with graded MOR efficacies. Intraperitoneal injection of dilute lactic acid (IP acid) served as a noxious stimulus to depress locomotor activity by mice in an activity chamber composed of two compartments connected by an obstructed door. Behavioral measures included (1) crosses between compartments (vertical activity over the obstruction) and (2) movement counts quantified as photobeam breaks summed across compartments (horizontal activity). Each drug was tested alone and as a pretreatment to IP acid. A charcoal-meal test and whole-body-plethysmography assessment of breathing in 5% CO₂ were also used to assess gastrointestinal (GI) inhibition and respiratory depression, respectively. IP acid produced a concentration-dependent depression in crosses and movement that was optimally alleviated by intermediate- to low-efficacy phenylmorphans with sufficient efficacy to produce analgesia with minimal locomotor disruption. Follow-up studies with two low-efficacy phenylmorphans (JL-2-39 and DC-1-76.1) indicated that both drugs produced naltrexone-reversible antinociception with a rapid onset and a duration of ~1 h. Potency of both drugs increased when behavior was depressed by a lower IP-acid concentration, and neither drug alleviated behavioral depression by a non-pain stimulus (IP lithium chloride). Both drugs produced weaker GI inhibition and respiratory depression than fentanyl and attenuated fentanyl-induced GI inhibition and respiratory depression. Results support further consideration of selective, low-efficacy MOR agonists as candidate analgesics.
