[ 11. A method of treating an opioid use disorder in a patient comprising:
administering to the patient a therapeutically effective dose of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an all-D peptide and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the all-D peptide comprises five contiguous amino acids and is at most 8 amino acid residues in length, having the general structure: A-B-C-D-E in which:
A is Ser, Thr, Asn, Glu, or Ile,
B is Ser, Thr, Asp, or Asn,
C is Thr, Ser, Asn, Arg, or Trp,
D is Tyr, and
E is Thr, Ser, Arg, or Gly,
wherein in the all-D peptide, all stereoisomeric amino acids are in the D stereoisomeric configuration, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition acts to treat the opioid use disorder in the patient.]
