Application

BNTX, a selective nonpeptide σ1 opioid receptor (DOR1) antagonist, is used in σ opioid receptor research to help differentiate and characterized the function and role of the σ1 opioid receptor versus other σ opioid receptor subtypes. BNTX was used to help define the role of σ1 opioid receptors in neurological processes such as anxiety. It was used to help define the role of σ opioid receptors in myocardial infarct development and size.

Biochem/physiol Actions

BNTX is a selective nonpeptide δ1 opioid receptor antagonist. It antagonizes the effect of D-Pen2,5-enkephalin (a δ1 agonist 4-6 fold, but did not affect the activity of δ2 or μ agonists.<<<107>>> BNTX is used to discriminate among opioid receptor subtypes in effects such as alcohol and drug dependence. It binds 100× more tightly to δ1 than to δ2 receptors. In the tail-flick assay, antinocieceptive ED50 = 646.4 pmol/mouse.

Eribis peptide 94 (EP 94) is a novel enkephalin derivative that binds with high potency to μ and δ opioid receptors with less affinity for the κ opioid receptor. This compound has recently been shown to produce an acute reduction

We evaluated antimalarial and/or chloroquine-resistance reversing effects of five opioid receptor antagonists. Although none of the evaluated compounds showed antimalarial effects, some of them, especially the δ(1) receptor antagonist, 7-benzylidenenaltrexone (BNTX) exhibited potent chloroquine-resistance reversing effects in Plasmodium chabaudi.

Recently, we reported that the δ opioid receptor (DOR) agonist KNT-127 produces anxiolytic-like effects in behaving rats. Here, we report on the roles of DOR subtypes ( DOR(1) and DOR(2)) play in mediating KNT-127-induced anxiolytic-like effects. Pretreatment with the DOR(2)-selective

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potential biological anticancer agent. However, a wide range of human primary cancers, including pancreatic cancer, display resistance to apoptosis induction by TRAIL. Therefore, this resistance needs to be overcome to allow TRAIL
