Biochemical pharmacology, 69(1), 179-185 (2004-12-14)
In the present study we investigated and compared the in vivo analgesia of centrally administered endomorphin-2 and morphiceptin, and their analogs modified in position 3. Two series of analogs were synthesized by introducing unnatural aromatic amino acids in the D

A functional assay, based on aequorin-derived luminescence triggered by receptor-mediated changes in intracellular calcium levels, was used to examine relative potency and efficacy of the mu-opioid agonists endomorphin-1, endomorphin-2, morphiceptin, and their position 3-substituted analogs, as well as the delta-agonist

1. The interaction between GABA and opioid peptides (met-enkephalin and morphiceptin) was studied on the identified, isolated and internally perfused neurons of Lymnaea stagnalis L. (Gastropoda, Basommatophora). 2. GABA (10(-7)-10(-5)M) activated a Cl-dependent inward current with about -20 mV equilibrium

Morphiceptin (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-NH(2)), tetrapeptide, was synthesized using dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (DP IV, EC 3.4.14.5) derived from Aspergillus oryzae RIB 915 as a catalyst. Tyr-Pro-OEt was incubated with Phe-Pro-NH(2) in the presence of DP IV under various conditions of temperature, concentrations of

Morphiceptin (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-NH(2)), a tetrapeptide present in the enzymatic digest of bovine beta-casein, is a selective ligand of the mu-opioid receptor. In the present study, we describe the synthesis of a series of novel morphiceptin analogs modified in positions 1-3. Two
