Product Description
[D-Ala2]leucine-enkephalin is a delta opioid agonist and a long-acting leucine brain non-peptide that resists degradation.
Leuphasyl, also known as Pentapeptide-18, is a synthetic pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu (YdAGFL). It is a delta opioid agonist and a long-acting leucine brain non-peptide that resists degradation. It has a molecular weight of 569.28 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₉H₃₉N₅O₇. Leuphasyl is used to study the signaling pathway of delta opioid receptors. It inhibits the release of acetylcholine and inhibits muscle contraction. The compound is also known as an INCI name in cosmetics.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Leuphasyl targets delta opioid receptors, acting as an agonist. Delta opioid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors involved in the regulation of pain, mood, and reward. By activating these receptors, leuphasyl modulates signaling pathways that influence neurotransmitter release and muscle contraction. The compound inhibits the release of acetylcholine and inhibits muscle contraction. Its resistance to degradation makes it a long-acting tool for studying opioid receptor signaling.
ln Vitro
In vitro, leuphasyl acts as a delta opioid agonist. It inhibits the release of acetylcholine and inhibits muscle contraction. Detailed IC₅₀ or EC₅₀ values for receptor activation are not extensively reported in the available literature. The compound's resistance to degradation suggests it may have prolonged activity in vitro. Its activity is confirmed through receptor binding and functional assays.
ln Vivo
Detailed in vivo activity data for leuphasyl are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a delta opioid agonist, it is expected to have effects on pain, mood, and muscle function. However, specific in vivo efficacy data from animal studies are not provided in the available sources. Further studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based receptor binding assays for leuphasyl typically involve radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing human delta opioid receptors. The receptor is incubated with a radiolabeled opioid ligand and varying concentrations of leuphasyl. Binding affinity (Ki) is determined by measuring displacement of the radiolabeled ligand. Selectivity profiling against mu and kappa opioid receptors is performed to confirm specificity.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for leuphasyl are performed using cells expressing delta opioid receptors. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and downstream signaling such as cAMP inhibition or GTPγS binding is measured. EC₅₀ values for receptor activation are determined from dose-response curves. Acetylcholine release assays can be performed using neuronal cultures or brain slices to assess inhibition of neurotransmitter release.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal models for leuphasyl would be required to assess its therapeutic potential. Based on its mechanism as a delta opioid agonist, relevant models could include pain models (e.g., hot plate, tail flick, formalin test) and models of mood disorders. The compound would be administered via appropriate routes, and behavioral and physiological parameters would be measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Leuphasyl has a molecular weight of 569.28 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₂₉H₃₉N₅O₇. CAS number is 64963-01-5. Melting point is 160-163.5°C. Density is 1.257±0.06 g/cm³. Appearance is a solid powder. Purity is ≥98%. Storage conditions: powder at -20°C. The compound is supplied for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicological data for leuphasyl are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a research compound, its safety profile would need to be established through standard preclinical toxicity assessments. The compound is supplied for research use only and is not for human consumption. Given its mechanism as a delta opioid agonist, potential side effects may include those associated with opioid receptor modulation.
Additional Infomation
