Naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) is a ligand used to study opioid receptors. It has been suggested to act at a novel kappa3 receptor but also appears to bind to classical opioid receptors, and possibly the ORL1 receptor. We have used opioid
J-113397 (1-[(3R,4R)-1-cyclooctylmethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-piperidyl]-3-ethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one) is a recently developed antagonist of the opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) receptor. We compared the in vitro functional profile J-113397 on [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS) binding to mouse brain with that of [Phe1psi(CH2-NH)Gly2]nociceptin(1-13)NH2 and naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH). J-113397 antagonized

Cell therapy combined with biomaterial scaffolds is used to treat cartilage defects. We hypothesized that chondrogenic differentiation bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in three-dimensional biomaterial scaffolds would initiate cartilaginous matrix deposition and prepare the construct for cartilage regeneration in
Buprenorphine is widely used as an analgesic drug and it is also increasingly considered for maintenance and detoxification of heroin addicts. It is a potent micro -receptor partial agonist with a long duration of action. An inverted U-shaped dose-effect curve

The presence of pairs of basic amino acids within the orphanin FQ/Nociceptin (OFQ/N) sequence has raised the possibility that truncated versions of the peptide might be physiologically important. OFQ/N(1-11) is pharmacologically active in mice, despite its poor affinity in binding
