δ Opioid Receptor/DOR
DPDPE TFA targets the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) as a selective agonist. It is a disulfide-containing cyclic opioid pentapeptide that selectively binds to the delta opioid receptor. DOR is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in pain modulation, seizure regulation, and other physiological processes. By selectively activating DOR, DPDPE TFA produces antinociceptive and anticonvulsant effects. Its selectivity for DOR over other opioid receptors makes it a valuable tool for studying DOR-specific signaling and function. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, DPDPE TFA inhibits electrically stimulated contraction of mouse vas deferens with an EC50 of 5.2 nM. As a selective DOR agonist, it activates DOR-mediated signaling pathways. The compound's potent activity in the mouse vas deferens assay is a classic measure of opioid receptor agonist activity. It also possesses anticonvulsant properties. Detailed in vitro characterization data, including receptor binding assays and functional signaling studies, are available in the primary literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, DPDPE TFA is antinociceptive. As a selective DOR agonist with anticonvulsant properties, it has potential for in vivo investigations of pain modulation and seizure regulation. DOR agonists have been studied in animal models of pain and epilepsy. 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 DOR pharmacology.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For opioid receptor binding assays, membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant DOR are incubated with radiolabeled ligands (e.g., [3H]-DPDPE or [3H]-naltrindole) and varying concentrations of DPDPE TFA. Non-specific binding is determined using excess unlabeled reference compounds (e.g., naltrindole). 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 Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, cell lines expressing DOR (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells) are cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). DPDPE TFA 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). For mouse vas deferens assays, tissue is mounted in organ baths and electrically stimulated, and inhibition of contraction is measured. Each concentration is tested in replicate with vehicle controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies of DPDPE TFA, no specific published protocols are available. For general in vivo administration of DOR 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 anticonvulsant studies, seizure models may be used. All procedures must follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
