β-Casomorphin Fragment 1-5 (BCM5), an opioid receptor agonist, is a member of the β-casomorphin peptide family derived from β-casein. β-casomorphins are used to study their differential effects on processes such as hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, opioid signalling and immunosuppression.

The effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of bovine beta-casomorphin-5 (beta-CM-5: Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-Gly), a micro-opioid agonist derived from milk beta-casein, on step-down type passive avoidance tasks were investigated in mice. Intracerebroventricular administration of a high dose (10 microg) of beta-CM-5 produced a

SP-antagonistic properties of a newly synthesized peptide Tyr-Pro-D-Phe-Phe-D-Phe-D-Trp-MetNH2 (AWL-60) were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro AWL-60 effectively antagonized the action of SP-agonist (SP6-11); however, this antagonism was non-competitive. Antagonistic properties of AWL-60 were also observed in
beta-Casomorphin-5, a novel opioid peptide Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-Gly, was tested in isolated heart preparations of guinea pigs in comparison with other morphine related peptides and cardioactive drugs. The substance induced a dose-dependent change in the cardiac contraction force, showing a positive inotropic
