Nitro-benzylideneoxymorphone, a bifunctional mu and delta opioid receptor ligand with high mu opioid receptor efficacy

چکیده
Introduction: There is a major societal need for analgesics with less tolerance, dependence, and abuse liability. Preclinical rodent studies suggest that bifunctional ligands both mu (MOPr) delta (DOPr) opioid peptide receptor activity may produce analgesia reduced tolerance other side effects. This study explores the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of our previously reported MOPr/DOPr lead, benzylideneoxymorphone (BOM) C7-methylene-substituted analogs. Methods: Analogs were synthesized tested in vitro binding efficacy. One compound, nitro-BOM (NBOM, 12) was evaluated antinociceptive effects warm water tail withdrawal assay C57BL/6 mice. Acute chronic antinociception determined, as toxicologic on administration. Molecular modeling experiments performed using Site Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation (SILCS) method. Results: NBOM found to be potent MOPr agonist/DOPr partial agonist produces high-efficacy antinociception. Antinociceptive observed, weight loss; this toxicity only observed not BOM. Modeling supports hypothesis increased efficacy due substituted benzylidene ring occupying nonpolar region within state. Discussion: Though non-specific repeated administration, provides an important new tool understanding pharmacology.

Introduction: Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in mu opioid receptor gene and drug addiction has been shown in various studies. Here, we have evaluated the existence of polymorphisms in exon 3 of this gene in Iranian population and investigated the possible association between these mutations and opioid addiction. Methods: 79 opioid-dependent subjects (55 males, 24...

متن کاملDelta opioid receptor enhancement of mu opioid receptor-induced antinociception in spinal cord.
Although the mu selective agonist [D-Ala2-MePhe4-Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO) and the delta selective agonist [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE) are both antinociceptive when administered directly into the spinal cord of mice, 50% of antinociceptive dose (AD50) of DAMGO is about 2 orders of magnitude lower than the AD50 of DPDPE. In contrast, the two ligands show similar affinities for their respe...

Since the discovery of the endomorphins (EM), the postulated endogenous peptide agonists of the mu-opioid receptors, several analogues have been synthesized to improve their binding and pharmacological profiles. We have shown previously that a new analogue, cis-1S,2R-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid(2)-endomorphin-2 (ACHC-EM2), had elevated mu-receptor affinity, selectivity, and proteolytic stab...
