Opiorphin, an opioid peptide, is a potent enkephalin-inactivating zinc ectopeptidases in human inhibitor. Opiorphin inhibits two enkephalin-catabolizing ectoenzymes, human neutral ecto-endopeptidase, hNEP (EC 3.4.24.11) with an IC50 value of 11 μM, and human ecto-aminopeptidase, hAP-N (EC 3.4.11.2). Opiorphin displays potent analgesic activity by activating endogenous opioid-dependent transmission.

Description

Opiorphin, an opioid peptide, is a potent enkephalin-inactivating zinc ectopeptidases in human inhibitor. Opiorphin inhibits two enkephalin-catabolizing ectoenzymes, human neutral ecto-endopeptidase, hNEP (EC 3.4.24.11) with an IC50 value of 11 μM, and human ecto-aminopeptidase, hAP-N (EC 3.4.11.2). Opiorphin displays potent analgesic activity by activating endogenous opioid-dependent transmission[1][2].

In Vitro

Opiorphin (1-100 μM; the mouse isolated colon) causes contractile effects in mouse distal colon in a concentration-dependent manner and enhances the contractile response induced by Met-enkephalin[1].
Opiorphin (0-50 μM; hNEP or hAP-N transformed HEK293 cell line) is a dual inhibitor of enkephalin-degrading hNEP and hAP-N in vitro. Opiorphin inhibits Mca-BK2 endoproteolysis by the cell-surface recombinant hNEP with an IC50 value of 33 μM. and inhibits the Ala-pNA cleavage by hAP-N with an IC50 value of 65 μM[2].

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

In Vivo

Opiorphin (1.25-10 μg/kg; ICV; 0-60 min; male Kunming mice) induces potent analgesic effect in a dose- and time-dependent manner (ED50=3.22 μg/kg)[1].

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

Animal Model: Male Kunming mice[1]
Dosage: 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 μg/kg
Administration: Intracerebroventrical injection; post-drug latency measurements were performed at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min
Result: Had the percentage change of tail withdrawal latency (TWL) at 10 min after i.c.v. administration of 1.25-10 mg/kg was 28.90%, 44.37%, 56.43% and 91.899.79%, respectively.

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.
