PMID- 12606628 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20030530 LR - 20220318 IS - 0022-3565 (Print) IS - 0022-3565 (Linking) VI - 305 IP - 2 DP - 2003 May TI - Endogenous opioid peptides contribute to antinociceptive potency of intrathecal [Dmt1]DALDA. PG - 696-702 AB - [Dmt(1)]DALDA (H-Dmt-d-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH(2); Dmt = 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine) is a dermorphin analog that shows high affinity and selectivity for the mu opioid receptor. The intrathecal potency of [Dmt(1)]DALDA far exceeded its affinity at mu receptors and suggests that other mechanisms must be involved in its action in the spinal cord. The affinity and selectivity of [Dmt(1)]DALDA was determined using cell membranes expressing cloned human mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors. Competitive displacement binding with [(3)H][Dmt(1)]DALDA, [(3)H]DPDPE (H-Tyr-d-Pen-Gly-Phe-d-Pen), and [(3)H]U69,593 [(5alpha,7alpha,8beta)-(+)-N-methyl-N-(7-[1-pyrrolidinyl]-1-oxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-benzeneacetamide] revealed K(i) of 156 +/- 26 pM for mu opioid receptor (MOR), 1.67 +/- 0.04 microM for delta opioid receptor (DOR), and K(i) of 4.4 +/- 1.7 nM for kappa opioid receptor (KOR), respectively. [Dmt(1)]DALDA increased guanosine 5'-O-(3-[(35)S]thiotriphosphate) binding in MOR, DOR, and KOR membranes, with EC(50) being 17 (8.8-33) nM, 2 (1.2-3.2) microM, and 124 (15-1000) nM, respectively. Intrathecal [Dmt(1)]DALDA inhibited the tail-flick response in mice with ED(50) = 1.22 (0.59-2.34) pmol. Intrathecal administration of an antiserum against dynorphin A(1-17) or [Met(5)]enkephalin significantly attenuated the response to i.t. [Dmt(1)]DALDA, resulting in ED(50) of 6.2 (3.6-12.6) pmol and 6.6 (3.5-19.6) pmol, respectively. Neither antisera had any effect on the response to i.t. morphine. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) [Dmt(1)]DALDA was not affected by previous i.c.v. administration of anti-Dyn or anti-ME. Pretreatment with norbinaltorphimine or naltriben also attenuated the antinociceptive response to i.t., but not i.c.v., [Dmt(1)]DALDA. These data suggest that i.t. [Dmt(1)]DALDA causes the release of dynorphin and [Met(5)]enkephalin-like substances that act at kappa and delta receptors, respectively, to contribute to the extraordinary potency of [Dmt(1)]DALDA.
