Difelikefalin HCl is a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist. It activates KOR in HEK293 cells expressing the human receptor (EC50 = 0.16 nM in a transactivation assay) and inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in R1.G1 mouse thyoma cells (EC50 = 0.048 nM). Difelikefalin HCl is selective for KOR over the μ-opioid receptor (MOR; EC50 = >1 µM in a transactivation assay). It reduces acetic acid-induced writhing, as well as scratching behavior induced by the KOR antagonist GNTI, in mice (ED50s = 0.07 and 0.05 mg kg, respectively).
Dynorphin A TFA, 作为一种内源性阿片肽,主要在中枢神经系统(CNS)中发挥抑制性神经传导的作用。该化合物不仅是kappa阿片受体(KOR)的高效激动剂,还能激活其他阿片受体,包括mu(MOR)和delta(DOR)。Dynorphin A TFA具有诱导神经元死亡的能力,因此在神经系统疾病的研究中具有应用价值。
