Product Description
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF), an octapeptide belonging to the RF-amide family, interacts with two different G protein-coupled receptors, NPFF(1) and NPFF(2), and has multiple physiological functions in the brain. like central cardiovascular and neuroendocrine regulation.
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is an endogenous neuropeptide that belongs to the RFamide peptide family. It is widely distributed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues and acts as a neuromodulator. NPFF is involved in the regulation of various physiological functions, including pain modulation, opioid tolerance, cardiovascular function, and neuroendocrine regulation. The compound is also known as FMRF-amide-like peptide and exists in two main isoforms: NPFF-1 and NPFF-2. It is primarily used in research to study neuropeptide signaling.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Neuropeptide FF receptors, specifically NPFF1 (also known as GPR147 or OT7T022) and NPFF2 (also known as GPR74 or HLWAR77). NPFF acts as an endogenous ligand for these G-protein-coupled receptors. The compound modulates pain perception by opposing the effects of opioid peptides. It also regulates cardiovascular function, neuroendocrine secretion, and gastrointestinal motility. NPFF receptors are potential targets for the development of analgesics and other therapeutic agents.
ln Vitro
NPFF demonstrates a wide range of biological activities. It modulates pain perception by opposing the analgesic effects of opioids, acting as an anti-opioid peptide. The compound also regulates cardiovascular function by modulating blood pressure and heart rate. It inhibits the release of various hormones, including growth hormone and prolactin. NPFF also modulates gastrointestinal motility and feeding behavior. The compound's effects are mediated through its binding to NPFF1 and NPFF2 receptors.
ln Vivo
NPFF has been studied in various in vivo models. In rodents, central or peripheral administration of NPFF modulates pain perception, cardiovascular function, and neuroendocrine secretion. The compound has been shown to reverse opioid-induced analgesia and to modulate opioid tolerance and dependence. NPFF also affects feeding behavior, reducing food intake in animal models. Its effects are dose-dependent and mediated through NPFF1 and NPFF2 receptors.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro receptor binding assay for NPFF typically involves measuring its binding affinity to NPFF1 and NPFF2 receptors using radioligand binding techniques. Membranes from cells expressing the recombinant receptors are incubated with a radiolabeled NPFF ligand and varying concentrations of the test compound. The binding affinity (Ki or IC50) is determined from the competition binding curves. Functional assays such as GTPγS binding or cAMP inhibition assays are also performed.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cellular assay for NPFF typically involves the use of cells expressing NPFF1 or NPFF2 receptors. Cells are treated with NPFF or related peptides, and downstream signaling pathways (e.g., intracellular calcium mobilization, cAMP levels, or MAPK activation) are measured. The compound's ability to activate or inhibit receptor-mediated signaling is assessed. The EC50 or IC50 value is determined from the dose-response curve.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for NPFF typically involve the administration of the peptide to rodents via intracerebroventricular (ICV), intrathecal (IT), or peripheral routes. Pain modulation is assessed using standard pain tests such as the tail-flick test or hot plate test. Cardiovascular function is monitored by measuring blood pressure and heart rate. Neuroendocrine effects are assessed by measuring hormone levels in blood. The compound's effects on opioid tolerance and dependence are also evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
NPFF is a neuropeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 883.0 g/mol and a molecular formula of C43H58N10O10. It is a peptide with limited oral bioavailability and is typically administered via injection. The compound is rapidly metabolized by peptidases in vivo and has a short half-life. Stable analogs of NPFF have been developed for research purposes to improve metabolic stability and bioavailability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
NPFF is a naturally occurring peptide and is generally well tolerated at physiological concentrations. However, the compound is intended for research use only and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. Standard safety assessments would be required before any clinical application. Researchers should consult the safety data sheet for detailed handling information.
