Opioid Receptor[1]
BW-180C targets the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) as an agonist. It also activates mu-opioid receptors (MOR), and the activation of both mu- and delta-opioid receptors mediates the analgesia brought on by BW-180C. As a member of the enkephalin family, it is an endogenous opioid peptide analog. The compound's dual activity at DOR and MOR makes it a valuable tool for studying opioid receptor signaling and the mechanisms of analgesia. Its neuroprotective properties suggest additional applications in neurodegenerative disease research. |

| ln Vitro |
In SH-SY5Y cells, BW-180C ([D-Ala2, D-Leu5]-Enkephalin) dramatically decreases cellular transcription without endangering the cells. After primary neurons recover for 72 hours in the absence of BW-180C, transcriptional activity fully resumes[1].
In vitro, BW-180C activates both mu- and delta-opioid receptors. As a DOR agonist, it is used to study opioid receptor-mediated signaling pathways. The compound's neuroprotective properties suggest activity in neuronal cell models. Detailed in vitro characterization data, including receptor binding assays and functional signaling studies, are available in the primary literature. The compound's dual receptor activity makes it a valuable tool for studying the interplay between DOR and MOR signaling. |
| ln Vivo |
BW-180C ([D-Ala2, D-Leu5]-Enkephalin) defends against IR damage in hepatocytes but not in rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. Although the BW-180C group's GPT levels are much lower than the Control group's, the two groups' serum HA levels are the same. In comparison to the Control group, the BW-180C group's liver tissue MDA concentrations are noticeably lower[2]. The activation of both mu- and delta-opioid receptors mediates the analgesia brought on by BW-180C (DADLE)[3].
In vivo, BW-180C produces analgesia mediated by the activation of both mu- and delta-opioid receptors. As a neuroprotective agent, it may have potential for in vivo investigations of neuroprotection and pain modulation. However, specific in vivo efficacy data and detailed animal model studies for this compound are limited in publicly available sources. Further research is needed to establish its full in vivo activity profile. The compound remains a research tool for opioid receptor pharmacology and neuroprotection studies. |
| Enzyme Assay |
For opioid receptor binding assays, membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant DOR or MOR are incubated with radiolabeled ligands and varying concentrations of BW-180C. Non-specific binding is determined using excess unlabeled reference compounds (e.g., naloxone for MOR, naltrindole for DOR). Following incubation at appropriate temperature (typically 25°C for 60-90 minutes), bound and free radioligands are separated by rapid filtration through glass fiber filters. Filters are washed and radioactivity counted by liquid scintillation. Ki values are calculated from competition curves. For functional assays, G protein activation is measured by [35S]-GTPγS binding.

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: Human neuroblastoma cells, SH-SY5Y cells Tested Concentrations: 100 pM to 10 μM Incubation Duration: 24-72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically inhibited cellular transcription. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: Primary Cortical neurons Tested Concentrations: 100 nM Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Treatment Dramatically diminished phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II at both Ser 2 and Ser 5. For in vitro cellular assays, cell lines expressing DOR or MOR (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells) are cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). BW-180C is dissolved in DMSO or appropriate buffer and diluted in culture medium to desired concentrations. Cells are treated with compound for specified durations. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring downstream signaling (e.g., cAMP inhibition, calcium flux, or ERK phosphorylation). Cell viability and neuroprotection can be assessed using standard assays. Each concentration is tested in replicate wells with vehicle controls and positive controls. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g[2]
Doses: 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: Administered intravenously (iv) into the inferior vena cava Experimental Results: After 120 min of reperfusion, the serum GPT levels were Dramatically lower in the DADLE group than in the Control group. Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice (age, 35-42 days; weight, 18-22 g; 6 mice in each group)[3] Doses: 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: Injected intraperitoneally (ip) 15 min prior to I/R Experimental Results: The serum levels of AST and ALT in the serum DADLE group were Dramatically lower. For in vivo animal studies of BW-180C, no specific published protocols are available. For general in vivo administration of opioid receptor agonists, compounds are typically formulated in suitable vehicles and administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, subcutaneous (s.c.) injection, or intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection. Dosing regimens vary by study objective. For pain models, nociceptive responses are measured. For neuroprotection studies, animals may be subjected to ischemic or excitotoxic injury models. All procedures must follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines. |
