Comparison of Pharmacological Activities of Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine: Norbuprenorphine Is a Potent Opioid Agonist

TL;DR: The binding of norBUP to opioid and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (ORL1) receptors, and its effects on [(35)S]guanosine-5'-O-(gamma-thio)triphosphate ([(35]S]GTP gamma S) binding mediated by opioid or ORL1 receptors are described and highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of pharmacological activities of three distinct kappa ligands (Salvinorin A, TRK-820 and 3FLB) on kappa opioid receptors in vitro and their antipruritic and antinociceptive activities in vivo.

TL;DR: In vitro pharmacological activities on receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and in vivo antiscratch and antinociceptive activities in mice are investigated and salvinorin A, TRK-820, and 3FLB caused internalization of the human KOR in a dose-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse model of OPRM1 (A118G) polymorphism has sex-specific effects on drug-mediated behavior

TL;DR: This work derived a mouse model possessing the equivalent nucleotide/amino acid substitution in the Oprm1 gene and found sex-specific reductions in the rewarding properties of morphine and the aversive components of naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common single nucleotide polymorphism A118G of the μ opioid receptor alters its N-glycosylation and protein stability.

TL;DR: The A118G SNP reduces MOPR N-glycosylation and protein stability using a knockin mouse model and Pulse-chase studies revealed that the half-life of the mature form of 118G/Asp40-hMOPR was shorter than that of 118A/Asn40-mOPR (~28 h).
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol reduction by methyl-β-cyclodextrin attenuates the delta opioid receptor-mediated signaling in neuronal cells but enhances it in non-neuronal cells

TL;DR: It is found that caveolin-1 level was very low in rat brain and undetectable in NG108-15 cells, which endogenously express delta opioid receptors (DOR), and lipid rafts sustain DOR-mediated signaling in Caveolin-deficient neuronal cells, but appear to inhibit it in cavesolin-enriched non-neuronal cells.
