General description

[D-Pen2,5]-Enkephalin hydrate, also called DPDPE, is a peptide and acts as a δ1-opioid receptor agonist. Opioid receptors are divided into three types called, μ, κ and δ, depending upon their ligands. These ligands are peptides and are classified as enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins.

Application

[D-Pen2,5]-Enkephalin hydrate (DPDPE) has been used to study the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic capabilities of polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugate of DPDPE in rodents. It has been used to study the tendency of opiate self-administration in male Long-Evans rats, in ventral tegmental area (VTA).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antinociceptive activity mediated through the δ1 receptor while the modulatory activity is mediated through the δ2 receptor. Tritiated [D-Pen2,5]-enkephalin is used as a δ1 ligand.

Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (Oatps) are a rapidly growing gene family of polyspecific membrane transporters. In rat brain, Oatp1 (gene symbol Slc21a1) and Oatp2 (Slc21a5) are localized at the apical and basolateral domains, respectively, of the choroid plexus epithelium. Furthermore, Oatp2

Intracranial self-administration of mu- and delta-opioid agonists was demonstrated in male Long-Evans rats. Independent groups were allowed to lever-press for ventral tegmental area (VTA) microinfusions of morphine, the selective mu agonist [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4-Gly5-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO), the selective delta-agonist [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]-enkephalin (DPDPE), or ineffective

The present study assessed the discriminative stimulus effects of the delta-opioid agonist [D-Pen2-D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE) in pigeons. Food-restricted pigeons were trained to discriminate between i.c.v injections of 100 micrograms [D-Pen2-D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE) and saline in a two-key operant procedure; acquisition of discriminative
