Abstract
We previously described a novel endomorphin-1 analogue (Tyr-L-beta-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(2); Endo1-beta-Pro) more resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis than endomorphin-1 that acts as a mu-opioid receptor agonist. In this study we report that Endo1-beta-Pro, s.c. injected in the mouse, is an effective antinociceptive agent in the tail flick (ED(50)=9.2 mg/kg) and acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction (ED(50)=1.2 mg/kg) tests. Moreover, s.c. Endo1-beta-Pro significantly decreases, in the mouse, the gastrointestinal propulsion measured as transit of an orally administered charcoal meal (ED(50)=10.0 mg/kg). Subcutaneous beta-funaltrexamine or a high dose of the mu(1)-opioid receptor-selective antagonist naloxonazine (50 mg/kg) prevents the antinociceptive and antitransit action of Endo1-beta-Pro; moreover, these effects are partially blocked by i.c.v. naloxone or by i.p. naloxone methiodide, this latter does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. On the contrary, the kappa-opioid receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine or the delta-opioid receptor antagonist naltrindole are ineffective Thus, Endo1-beta-Pro may act, preferentially, through central and peripheral mu(2)-opioid receptors to produce antinociception and to inhibit gastroi...Continue Reading
