Docking Studies of Kappa Opioid Receptor Agonists
The purpose of the study was to compare the binding energy of pharmacophores of different classes targeting to kappa opioid receptor (KOR) with ketazocine and pentazocine which are having good activity on the KOR. The 3D structure of KOR receptor was built by Homology modeling; pharmacophores were characterized by using Ligand scout. Docking studies for the KOR agonists were performed in Autodo...
متن کاملEffect of kappa-opioid receptor agonists U69593, U50488H, spiradoline and salvinorin A on cocaine-induced drug-seeking in rats.
Our previous work indicated that pretreatment with the selective kappa-opioid receptor (KOPr) agonist, U69593, attenuated the ability of priming injections of cocaine to reinstate extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior. The present study expanded these initial tests to include other traditional KOPr agonists, U50488H, spiradoline (SPR), and salvinorin A (Sal A), an active constituent of the plan...
متن کاملEffects of kappa-opioid receptor agonists on responses to colorectal distension in rats with and without acute colonic inflammation.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of kappa-opioid receptor agonists on pressor and visceromotor responses to colorectal distension in awake, unrestrained rats, a model of visceral pain. Because visceral pain can be enhanced in the presence of inflammation, the study was conducted in rats that had been given either intracolonic saline or 5% acetic acid 6 hr before drug admi...
متن کاملEffects of atypical kappa-opioid receptor agonists on intrathecal morphine-induced itch and analgesia in primates.
Itch/pruritus is the most common side effect associated with spinal administration of morphine given to humans for analgesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) agonists with diverse chemical structures as antipruritics and to elucidate the receptor mechanism underlying the antipruritic effect in monkeys. In particular, previously proposed ...
متن کاملSystemic kappa opioid receptor agonists in the treatment of chronic pruritus: a literature review.
Chronic pruritus is frequently refractory to currently available treatments. Studies suggest that pruritus may arise from an imbalance of the mu- and kappa-opioid receptor system activity in either the skin or the central nervous system. Stimulation of kappa-opioid receptors by their agonists inhibits pruritus in both animals and humans. The antipruritic effect of kappa-opioid receptors agonist...
