Description

NAQ is a potent and selective μ opioid receptor partial agonist, with a Ki of 0.55 nM. NAQ shows selectivity for Mu opioid receptor over the δ receptor (Ki=132.50 nM) and the κ receptor (Ki=26.45 nM). NAQ can be used for the research of opioid withdrawal or dependence[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

μ Opioid Receptor/MOR

0.55 nM (Ki)

κ Opioid Receptor/KOR

26.45 nM (Ki)

δ Opioid Receptor/DOR

132.50 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

NAQ is a μ opioid receptor (MOR) partial agonist, with an EC50 of 4.36 nM in MOR-expressing CHO cell line[1].
NAQ (45 min) inhibits hERG with an IC50 of 220 nM in CHO-K1 cells stably transfected with human hERG cDNA[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

NAQ (a single s.c.) antagonizes the antinociceptive effects of Morphine in the mouse tail immersion test, with an AD50 of 0.45 mg/kg[1].
NAQ (0.32-10 mg/kg; s.c.) produces weak intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) facilitation in rats but more robust ICSS facilitation during and after Morphine treatment and also reverses Morphine withdrawal-associated depression of ICSS[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
