Nucleus of the Tractus Solitarius NTS Central Nervous System CNS Sodium Nitroprusside SNP Naloxone Methiodide NM v ABSTRACT The effects of two selective fi- opioid agonistsDAMGO and DALDA, and a selective k- opioid agonist U50,488H on blood pressure and heart rate have been compared in the chronically instrumented and awake sheèp. Differences in the heart rate response to p- and K-opioid agonists in vivo w^edemonstrated. The mechanism behind the heart rate response to all three opioid agonists was investigated by studying the effects of p- and K-agonists on baroreflex sensitivity and the involvement of sympathetic activity in the heart rate response to K-opioid agonists. The site and mechanism of action involved in the effects ofDAMGO and DALDA on the baroreflex were further investigated in vivo. The opioid receptor agonists involved in these studies are undergoing development as obstetrical analgesics for clinical use hence the influence of pregnancy on the effects of p- and K-opioid agonists on blood pressure, heart rate and baroreflex sensitivity were investigated. The mechanism responsible for the blood pressure effects of p-opioid agonists observed in vivo was investigated in vitro using the isolated and perfused guinea pig heart. The effects of DAMGO and DALDA on inotropy, chronotropy and coronary flow has been demonstrated in the spontaneously beating heart. Differences in the inotropic response to DAMGO and DALDA in the absence of their chronotropic influence was demonstrated in electrically paced hearts. Inotropic responses to DAMGO and DALDA have been shown to be influenced by the contractile condition of the heart. The potential therapeutic efficacy of p-opioid agonists has been investigated by studying the development of tolerance to their cardiovascular effects in vivo and in vitro. DAMGO and DALDA have been shown to induce rapid tolerance to blood pressure responses and inotropic responses in vivo and in vitro respectively. Differences in the relative potencies of DAMGO and DALDA was confirmed in all studies. SUMMARY 1. The history of the opioid receptor system is reviewed. The classification and distribution of opioid receptors, receptor subtypes, their endogenous ligands and the developm ent o f highly selective agonists and antagonists is discussed w ith reference to the cloning o f opioid receptors and then transduction mechanisms. A discussion o f the regulation o f the cardiovascular system including that o f blood pressure, heart rate and the baroreflex is presented w ith consideration o f the influence o f pregnancy on the system. The literature on the effects o f opioids on cardiovascular regulation is r e v i e w e d . 2. In order to assess the cardiovascular effects o f system ically adm inistered opioid peptides, changes m blood pressure and heart rate w ere observed after intravenous adm inistration o f U 50.488H 3,4.dichloro-N-[2-(l.prrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]benzeneacetam ide), a selective K-opioid receptor agomst, and tw o selective p-opioid receptor agonists, D A LD A (Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys) and D A M G O (D-Ala2,7V-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]enkephaiin in nonpregnant and pregnant sheep. Intravenous administration of all three agonists (U 50,488H (1.2 m g/kg), D A LD A (0.3m g/kg) and D A M G O (0.3 m g/kg)) to the awake sheep resulted in an immediate increase in blood pressure. The pressor response to U 50,488H w as accompanied by an increase in heart rate and both effects w ere naloxone- sensitive. In contrast, there was no accompanying change in heart rate to D A LD A or D A M G O . The pressor response to DAM GO and DALDA was significantly attenuated in pregnant animals. In contrast, there was no difference between the pressor response to U 50488H in nonpregnant and pregnant sheep, but the tachycardia was more pronounced in pregnant animals. It was hypothesized that the lack of a reflex bradycardia to the pressor responses of both the p- and K-opioid receptor agonists was due to a blunting of baroreflex-mediated bradycardia. The reflex bradycardia to norepinephrine (0.6 pg/kg/min) was significantly reduced in the presence of DAMGO but not U50,488H. In view of the lack of effect of U50,488H on the baroreflex, it was further hypothesized that the tachycardia it elicited was due to an increase in sympathetic activity. Pretreatment with propranolol (0.1 mg/kg) completely blocked the tachycardia elicited by U50,488H. These data suggest that the lack of a reflex bradycardia to the pressor response of p-receptor agonists is due to a blunting of baroreflex-mediated bradycardia. In contrast, the increase in heart rate caused by U50,488H is mediated by sympathetic activation of the heart. 3. In order to assess the site and mechanism by which p-agonists cause an attenuation of baroreflex sensitivity, further investigations were carried out using the highly polar p-agonist DALDA, which has been shown to have a limited ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Furthermore, as the long term goal of the laboratory has been to develop these peptides for clinical obstetrical use, the effects of these peptides on baroreflex sensitivity in pregnancy was also investigated. The reflex bradycardia to norepinephrine (0.4 - 0.6pg / min) was significantly blunted in the presence of both DAMGO and DALDA in pregnant and nonpregnant animals. In view of the limited ability of DALDA to get across the blood brain barrier, it was hypothesized that the blunting of baroreflex-mediated bradycardia by p-agonists occurs at a peripheral site.

Wheat gluten proteins were assessed for the 6 presence of opioid peptides on the basis of tyrosine and proline within their sequence. Eleven 7 peptides were identified and occurrence of predicted sequences or their structural motifs were 8 analysed using BIOPEP database and ranked using PeptideRanker. Based on higher peptide 9 ranking, three sequences YPG, YYPG and YIPP were selected for determination of opioid 10 activity by cAMP assay against µ and κ opioid receptors. Three peptides inhibited the 11 production of cAMP to varied degree with EC50 values of YPG, YYPG and YIPP were 5.3 12 mM, 1.5 mM and 2.9 mM for µ-opioid receptor, and 1.9 mM, 1.2 mM and 3.2 mM for κ- 13 opioid receptor, respectively.

The present study characterizes opioid receptors in an immortalized myocyte cell line, HL-1. Displacement of [3H]bremazocine by selective ligands for the mu (), delta (), and kappa () receptors revealed that only the -selective ligands could fully displace specific [3H]bremazocine binding, indicating the presence of only the -receptor in these cells. Saturation binding studies with the -antagonist naltrindole 3 afforded a Bmax of 32 fmols/mg protein and a KD value for [ H]naltrindole of 0.46 n. The binding affinities of various ligands for the receptor in HL-1 cell membranes obtained from competition binding assays were similar to those obtained using membranes from a neuroblastoma×glioma cell line, NG108-15.

Abstract The impact that β-arrestin proteins have on G-protein-coupled receptor trafficking, signaling and physiological behavior has gained much appreciation over the past decade. A number of studies have attributed the side effects associated with the use of naturally occurring and synthetic opioids, such as respiratory depression and constipation, to excessive recruitment of β-arrestin.

BARATTl Universidad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina and JAMES L. McGAUGH University of California, Irvine, California Immediate posttraining administration of the opioid peptide dynorphin(1-13) (0.1, 0.3, and 1.0l'g/kg i.p.) significantly impaired 24-h retention of a one-trial inhibitory avoidance task in mice. In contrast, posttraining dynorphin did not modify retention of either a Y-maze discrimi- nation (0.1, 1.0, or 10.0I'g/kg i.p.) or habituation of exploration (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, or 2.0 I'g/kg i.p.). The administration of dynorphin (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0I'g/kg i.p.) 2 min prior to the inhibitory avoidance retention test did not modify retention latencies of mice injected with either saline or dynorphin (O.ll'g/kg i.p.) immediately after training. In mice, dynorphin appears to impair retention by interfering with memory storage processes, and this effect seems to be task specific.
