Introduction The cornerstone of opioid peptide history was the discovery of enkephalins (Tyr-Gly-Gly- Phe-Met, (Met5) enkephalin and Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu, (Leu5)-enkephalin) in porcine brain by Hughes, Kosterlitz and their coworkers in 1975 (53). The history appeared to obey the principle of receptor theory declaring that a receptor should have one or more endogenous ligand(s). The first opioid receptor model has been set forth by Beckett and Casy (11). The direct evidence for the existence of opioid receptors (i.e. the accomplishment of receptor binding assay) has been supplied simultaneously and independently by three teams (97, 142, 151). Soon after the the discovery of enkephalins the heterogeneity of opioid receptors, i.e. the existence of multiple receptor types has also been proved and the main pharmacological properties of receptor types (m, k and d as major ones and also, tentatively, s) have also been documented (33, 77, 81). Since the (Met5)-enkephalin sequence is present in a pituitary hormone, b-lipotropin (LPH(1-91), b-LPH), between sequence positions 61-65, the attention has been focussed on this peptide hormone. b-LPH is the biological source of several natural opioid sequences, each bearing the Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met motif at the N-terminus (a-, b- and g-endorphins) but not of enkephalins. Of these active sequences, the untriakontapeptide b-endorphin (LPH(61- 91), b-EP) is the most important (15, 44, 76). A third distinct opioid peptide family, based on the N-terminal Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu motif, the dynorphin-neo-endorpin group has also been recognized by the late seventies (35, 57). The large molecular-weight precursors of these three opioid peptide families, pre-proopio- melanocortin for endorphins, pre-proenkephalin for enkephalin-related peptides and pre- prodynorphin have duly been identified in the early eighties (23, 56, 87). In the same period (late seventies-early eighties) two entirely novel natural opioid peptide groups have been recognized. One is referred to as the family of Tyr-Pro-peptides; in this group remarkable opioid agonist activity was present if the N-terminal dipeptide motif was followed by aromatic amino acid. Casomorphin-related peptides, hemorphins and cytochrophins fell strictly into this family (16-18) with a-gliadorphin (37) and Tyr-MIF-1/Tyr-W-MIF-1 (26, 59) at the "outskirts" of assembly. The other group, under the heading of "amphibian skin opioid peptides", was heralded by the discovery of dermorphin (27); The characteristic N- terminal motif in this peptide (and the ones to follow) was Tyr-D-Ala/D-Met-Phe--. The former family was "crowned" by the discovery of endomorphins in 1997 (158) whereas the latter gave rise to dermenkephalin and deltorphins (28). The primary structures of all the three 4 major types (i.e. d, m and k) of opioid receptor proteins were deduced between 1992 and 1994 (29, 62; for review see 155). This discovery gave further impetus to the analyses directed at ligand binding, receptor heterogeneity and signal transduction (e.g. 100, 159). My experiments were carried out in two periods, between 1976 and 1984 and 1988 and 2001, with a distinct and painful "silent gap" between 1984 and 1988. There was a chrononological overlap between some of the thematically distinct projects but, occasionally, several issues were re-instated after a dormant period of 8-10 years. Between 1976 and 1981, the work was done at the Institute of Drug Research, in cooperation with preparative biochemists (Groupleader L. Gráf) , peptide synthetic chemists (Groupleader S. Bajusz) and behavioral pharmacologists (Groupleader J.I. Székely). My first task, being the Groupleader of "In vitro pharmacological unit" was to characterize the pharmacological properties of (Met5)-enkephalin, b-endorphin and its fragments (Chapter 1). This entailed of finding a proper assembly of isolated organs and experimental paradigms suitable for differentiating pharmacologically between morphine-like non-peptidic substances and opioid peptides and also between opioid peptides themselves (Chapter 2). The next tasks were to give logistic support to the design of analgesic enkephalin analogs (Chapter 3), to characterize the structural principles in enkephalin analogs responsible for receptor type selection and to find the "thumb rules" of correlating in vitro pharmacological properties with analgesia (Chapter 4). Among the potential factors affecting the in vivo effectiveness of enkephalin analogs, one had to consider their increased stability against biodegradation. Natural enkephalins and some other pro-enkephalin derived natural peptides are rapidly destroyed by various peptidases. While studying these aspects, I became aware of a novel peptidase activity in some rodent and human tissues (Chapter 5); these pursuits took place between 1981-1983 and 1990- 1997,.respectively. It is a perpetual challange in receptor chemistry/pharmacology to design competitive, receptor type/subtype-selective antagonist when the structure and pharmacological profile of natural and synthetic agonist ligand sets are known (Chapter 6). This chapter is an etude of pharmacologist with the additional curiosity that, by lacking a better candidate for the task, the drug design had to be done by myself in the case of d-opioid receptor antagonist peptide analogs and, in part, also in the case of k-opioid receptor antagonist peptides. To relate drug structure to pharmacological activities the knowledge of conformational properties is an important issue. In the case of b-LPH-related peptides the conformational analyses were organised by the biochemist (39, 40), in the case of (D- Met2,Pro5)-enkephalinamide by the synthetic chemist (49) whereas for some other sets of 5 analogs I made the structured proposal for the conformational analysis/modelling (50, 113, 145). Each project gave a conclusive and well-defined result but never the achievement to my real satisfaction. I consider them as "truncated" projects mostly because the lack of proper funding; several sprouts are still open to further cultivation. In this context, I wish to quote the proverbial sentence attributed to Professor W.D.M. Paton: "My task is to invent an original idea and prove that it is worthy of attention. All the other details may be done by others". 2.

  • Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs Keith Bernard Woodford Agri-Food Systems, Lincoln University, Lincoln 7674, New Zealand; [email protected] Abstract: Food-derived opioid peptides include digestive products derived from cereal and dairy diets. If these opioid peptides breach the intestinal barrier, typically linked to permeability and constrained biosynthesis of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), they can attach to opioid receptors. The widespread presence of opioid receptors spanning gut, brain, and internal organs is fundamental to the diverse and systemic effects of food-derived opioids, with effects being evidential across many health conditions. However, manifestation delays following low-intensity long-term exposure create major challenges for clinical trials. Accordingly, it has been easiest to demonstrate causal relationships in digestion-based research where some impacts occur rapidly. Within this environment, the role of the microbiome is evidential but challenging to further elucidate, with microbiome effects ranging across gut-condition indicators and modulators, and potentially as systemic causal factors. Elucidation requires a systemic framework that acknowledges that public-health effects of food- derived opioids are complex with varying genetic susceptibility and confounding factors, together with system-wide interactions and feedbacks. The specific role of the microbiome within

  • Microbial Degradation of the Morphine Alkaloids Purification and Characterization of Morphine Dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas Putida M10
    Biochem. J. (1991) 274, 875-880 (Printed in Great Britain) 875 Microbial degradation of the morphine alkaloids Purification and characterization of morphine dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida M10 Neil C. BRUCE,* Clare J. WILMOT, Keith N. JORDAN, Lauren D. Gray STEPHENS and Christopher R. LOWE Institute of Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, Tennis Court Road, Cambridge CB2 1QT, U.K. The NADP+-dependent morphine dehydrogenase that catalyses the oxidation of morphine to morphinone was detected in glucose-grown cells of Pseudomonas putida M 10. A rapid and reliable purification procedure involving two consecutive affinity chromatography steps on immobilized dyes was developed for purifying the enzyme 1216-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity from P. putida M 10. Morphine dehydrogenase was found to be a monomer of Mr 32000 and highly specific with regard to substrates, oxidizing only the C-6 hydroxy group of morphine and codeine. The pH optimum of morphine dehydrogenase was 9.5, and at pH 6.5 in the presence of NADPH the enzyme catalyses the reduction of codeinone to codeine. The Km values for morphine and codeine were 0.46 mm and 0.044 mm respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents and the metal-complexing reagents 1, 10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-dipyridyl, suggesting that a metal centre may be necessary for activity of the enzyme.

  • Opioid Peptides in Peripheral Pain Control
    Review Acta Neurobiol Exp 2011, 71: 129–138 Opioid peptides in peripheral pain control Anna Lesniak*, Andrzej W. Lipkowski Mossakowski Medical Research Centre Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw; *Email: [email protected] Opioids have a long history of therapeutic use as a remedy for various pain states ranging from mild acute nociceptive pain to unbearable chronic advanced or end-stage disease pain. Analgesia produced by classical opioids is mediated extensively by binding to opioid receptors located in the brain or the spinal cord. Nevertheless, opioid receptors are also expressed outside the CNS in the periphery and may become valuable assets in eliciting analgesia devoid of shortcomings typical for the activation of their central counterparts. The discovery of endogenous opioid peptides that participate in the formation, transmission, modulation and perception of pain signals offers numerous opportunities for the development of new analgesics. Novel peptidic opioid receptor analogs, which show limited access through the blood brain barrier may support pain therapy requiring prolonged use of opioid drugs.
