delta-opioid receptor (IC50 = 0.94 nM); δ Opioid Receptor/DOR

In the present study, whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to observe the effects of SNC162, a selective agonist of δ-opioid receptors, on L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca-L)) and transient outward K(+) current (I(to)) in rat ventricular myocytes. The results showed that SNC162 significantly inhibited I(Ca-L) and I(to) in rat ventricular myocytes. The maximal inhibition rate of I(Ca-L) and I(to) reached (46.13±4.12)% and (36.53±10.57)%, respectively. SNC162 at 1×10(-4) mol/L inhibited the current density of I(Ca-L) from (8.98±0.40) pA/pF to (4.84±0.44) pA/pF (P<0.01, n=5) and inhibited that of I(to) from (18.69±2.42) pA/pF to (11.73±1.67) pA/pF (P<0.01, n=5). Furthermore, the effects of naltrindole, a highly selective antagonist of δ-opioid receptors, on I(Ca-L) and I(to) were also observed. The results showed that naltrindole alone had no effects on I(Ca-L) and I(to), while it abolished the inhibitory effects of SNC162 on I(Ca-L) and I(to). In conclusion, SNC162 concentration-dependently inhibited I(Ca-L) and I(to) in rat ventricular myocytes via activation of the δ-opioid receptors, which may be a fundamental mechanism underlying the antiarrhythmic effect of activating δ-opioid receptors [3].

The diarylpiperazine δ-opioid agonist SNC80 [(+)-4-[(αR)-α-[(2 S,5 R)-2,5-dimethyl-4-(2-propenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-(3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide] produces convulsions, antidepressant-like effects, and locomotor stimulation in rats. The present study compared the behavioral effects in Sprague-Dawley rats of SNC80 with its two derivatives, SNC86 [(+)-4-[α(R)-α-[(2 S,5 R)-2,5-dimethyl-4-(2-propenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide] and SNC162 [(+)-4-[(αR)-α-[(2 S,5 R)-2,5-dimethyl-4-(2-propenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-(3-phenyl)methyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide], which differ by one functional group located in the 3-position of the benzylic ring. In behavioral measures, these three compounds demonstrated a rank order of potency and efficacy; SNC86 was the most potent and efficacious followed by SNC80 and then SNC162. In vitro, these compounds stimulated guanosine 5′-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate ([35S]GTPγS) binding in the caudate putamen of coronal brain slices from drug-naive rats as measured by in vitro autoradiography. In [35S]GTPγS binding studies, SNC86 seemed to be a full agonist at the δ-opioid receptor; however, SNC162 demonstrated reduced stimulation compared with SNC86, consistent with partial agonist activity. Although SNC80 was not fully efficacious in [35S]GTPγS autoradiography studies, it produced behavioral effects similar to those observed with SNC86, suggesting that the behavioral effects of SNC80 may be produced by its 3-hydroxy metabolite.

Mu-opioid receptor agonists such as fentanyl are effective analgesics, but their clinical use is limited by untoward effects. Adjunct medications may improve the effectiveness and/or safety of opioid analgesics. This study compared interactions between fentanyl and either the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist ketamine or the delta-opioid receptor agonist SNC162 [(+)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-[(2S,5R)-2,5-dimethyl-4-(2-propenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-(3-phenyl)methyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide] in two behavioral assays in rhesus monkeys. An assay of thermal nociception evaluated tail-withdrawal latencies from water heated to 50 and 54°C. An assay of schedule-controlled responding evaluated response rates maintained under a fixed-ratio 30 schedule of food presentation. Effects of each drug alone and of three mixtures of ketamine +fentanyl (22:1, 65:1, 195:1 ketamine/fentanyl) or SNC162+fentanyl (59:1, 176:1, 528:1 SNC162/fentanyl) were evaluated in each assay. All drugs and mixtures dose-dependently decreased rates of food-maintained responding, and drug proportions in the mixtures were based on relative potencies in this assay. Ketamine and SNC162 were inactive in the assay of thermal antinociception, but fentanyl and all mixtures produced dose-dependent antinociception. Drug interactions were evaluated using dose-addition and dose-ratio analysis. Dose-addition analysis revealed that interactions for all ketamine/fentanyl mixtures were additive in both assays. SNC162/fentanyl interactions were usually additive, but one mixture (176:1) produced synergistic antinociception at 50°C. Dose-ratio analysis indicated that ketamine failed to improve the relative potency of fentanyl to produce antinociception vs. rate suppression, whereas two SNC162/fentanyl mixtures (59:1 and 176:1) increased the relative potency of fentanyl to produce antinociception. These results suggest that delta agonists may produce more selective enhancement than ketamine of mu agonist-induced antinociception [2].

Fentanyl and SNC162 interactions [2]
Assay of schedule-controlled responding [2]
The average control response rate (± SEM) throughout the study for this group of monkeys was 3.0 (± 0.2) responses/s. Fentanyl and SNC162 produced dose-dependent decreases in response rates, and slopes of the dose-effect curves were not significantly different [slopes (95% confidence limits) were −131.5 (−186.3 to −76.8) for fentanyl and −119.2 (−162.1 to −76.2) for SNC162]. ED50 values are shown in Table 3, and based on relative potencies, three mixtures of SNC162+fentanyl were examined (59:1, 176:1, 528:1 SNC162/fentanyl). Table 3 also shows the ED50 values for each drug in each mixture, and Table 4 shows the predicted Zadd values and the empirically determined Zmix values for each drug mixture as determined by dose-addition analysis. All drug mixtures produced effects that were consistent with additivity. The isobologram for SNC162/fentanyl interactions in the assay of schedule-controlled responding is shown in Figure 1 (lower left panel).

Assay of thermal nociception [2]
Average baseline tail-withdrawal latencies (±SEM) throughout the study for this group of monkeys were 0.8 ± 0.1 s and 0.7 ± 0.1 s from 50 and 54°C water, respectively. Fentanyl produced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect at both thermal stimulus intensities, and the ED50 values for fentanyl at the two stimulus intensities are shown in Table 3. SNC162 did not produce antinociception up to the highest doses tested (maximal % MPE was 24±14.4 and 9.7±8.2 after 10 mg/kg at 50 and 54°C, respectively). Table 3 also shows ED50 values for each drug in the three SNC162/fentanyl mixtures, Table 4 shows the predicted Zadd values and empirically determined Zmix values for each drug mixture, and Figure 1 shows the isobolgrams (bottom center and left panels). The ED50 values for fentanyl and SNC162 in the 176:1 mixture were significantly lower than the ED50 values for either drug alone at 50°C (Table 3). Moreover, the 176:1 SNC162/fentanyl mixture produced a synergistic antinociceptive effect at 50°C as indicated by the empirically determined Zmix value being significantly lower than the predicted Zadd value (Table 4). Graphically, this drug-mixture point was located to the left of the dose-additivity line in the isobologram (Fig. 1, bottom center panel). This synergistic effect with the 176:1 SNC162/fentanyl mixture was replicated in a subsequent experiment (data not shown). The 59:1 and 528:1 SNC162/fentanyl mixtures produced only additive effects at a stimulus intensity of 50°C, and all SNC162/fentanyl mixtures produced additive effects at a stimulus intensity of 54°C.

Dose-ratio analysis [2]
Fig. 2 shows dose ratios for ketamine+fentanyl and SNC162+fentanyl to produce rate suppression in the assay of schedule-controlled responding (SCR) vs. thermal antinociception (50 and 54°C). Ketamine produced only a proportion-dependent decrease in the dose ratios at both stimulus intensities, indicating that antinociceptive doses of the ketamine/fentanyl mixtures produced greater rate suppression than antinociceptive doses of fentanyl alone. Conversely, SNC162 increased the dose ratio relative to fentanyl alone at 50°C (both the 59:1 and 176:1 mixtures) and at 54°C (the 59:1 mixture). Thus, antinociceptive doses of some SNC162/fentanyl mixtures produced less rate suppression than antinociceptive doses of fentanyl alone.

Time courses [2]
Fig. 3 shows the time courses of equieffective doses of fentanyl (0.021 mg/kg), ketamine (1.4 mg/kg) and SNC162 (3.7 mg/kg) in the assay of schedule-controlled responding. All three drugs produced a significant decrease in response rates relative to saline treatment. Peak effects of all three drugs were observed after 10 min, and effects of all three drugs dissipated after 300 min. Using the duration of significant differences from saline treatment as a criterion, durations of action were ketamine

Biochemicals and solution [3]
SNC162, Taurine, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), ATP-K2, ATPMg, L-glutamic acid, EGTA, and naltrindole were used. The composition of Ca2+-free Tyrode’s solution (in mmol/ L): NaCl 140, KCl 5.4, MgCl2 1.0, NaH2PO4 0.33, glucose 10, HEPES 5.0, and the pH was adjusted to 7.38 with NaOH at room temperature. The composition of Tyrode’s solution: 1.8 mmol/L CaCl2 was added into Ca2+-free Tyrode’s solution. The composition of enzymatic solution (in mmol/L): 50 mL Tyrode’s solution without CaCl2 1.8, NaCl 140, but with NaCl 125, taurine 20, CaCl2 75 µmol/ L, collagenase P 0.1-0.3 g/L. The composition of KB solution (in mmol/L): KOH 85, L-glutamic acid 50, KCl 30, taurine 20, KH2PO4 30, MgCl2 1.0, HEPES 10, glucose 10 and EGTA 0.5, and the pH was adjusted to 7.4 by KOH. The extracellular solution used for measuring ICa-L was Tyrode’s solution and the composition of the pipette solution was (in mmol/L): KCl 150, HEPES 5.0, EGTA 5.0, ATP-K2 3.0, MgCl2 1.0, 4-AP 5.0, ATP-Mg 1.0, and the pH was adjusted to 7.3 by KOH. The extracellular solution used for measuring Ito was the same as that for measuring ICa-L, except that CdCl2 0.1 mmol/L and BaCl2 0.2 mmol/L were added into the perfusate to avoid ICa-L and inward rectifier potassium current (IK1) participating. The composition of the pipette solution was the same as that for measuring ICa-L except lacking 4-AP. SNC162 was dissolved to 0.01 mol/L with 1 mol/L HCl and stored at -20 o C, then diluted to the desired final concentration before each experiment. Naltrindole was dissolved to 0.01 mol/L with distilled water and stored at -20 oC, then diluted to the desired final concentration before each experiment. In the experiment, each agent was cumulatively administered.

Electrophysiologic recording [3]
ICa-L and Ito were recorded by whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The isolated cells were placed in a recording chamber mounted on the stage of an inverted microscope. After cell settling for 3-5 min, the chamber was continuously perfused with Tyrode’s solution at 1-2 mL/min. The patch electrodes, made from borosilicate glass capillaries, were pulled in two stages by a vertical microelectrode puller ith resistances ranging from 2-5 MΩ when filled with pipette solution. The pipette was connected through an Ag-AgCl wire to the head stage of an Axon 200B amplifier. A three dimensional hydraulic micromanipulator was used to position the patch electrode near the center of the cell. After offset voltage adjustment, a giga seal was established between the electrode tip and the membrane by applying slight negative pressure (10-20 cm H2O). Then the patch membrane was ruptured by a brief period of stronger negative pressure. Data acquisition and analysis were carried out with pClampex 8.2. In all experiments, membrane current density was expressed as membrane current per cell capacitance.

Fentanyl/ketamine interactions were examined in a group of five monkeys, and fentanyl/SNC162 interactions were examined in a different group of three monkeys (two monkeys were included in both studies). Initially, complete dose-effect curves were determined for fentanyl (0.001–0.1 mg/kg) and ketamine (0.1–5.6 mg/kg) alone, or for fentanyl and SNC162 (0.1–10 mg/kg) alone, and each drug was tested twice. Tests of fentanyl and ketamine alone were conducted no more than twice a week. Tests of SNC162 alone were conducted no more than once a week to prevent tolerance to the rate-decreasing effects of this delta agonist (Brandt et al., 2001). Subsequently, three mixtures of ketamine or SNC162 in combination with fentanyl were examined, and the proportions of each drug in the mixtures were based on the relative potency of the drugs to decrease response rates. Thus, relative potency was defined as ED50 of the combination drug (ketamine or SNC162) ÷ ED50 fentanyl, and the proportions of the combination drug to fentanyl in the three mixtures were relative potency ÷ 3, relative potency, and relative potency × 3. Each mixture was tested at least once, and test sessions were conducted no more than twice a week for fentanyl/ketamine mixtures and no more than once a week for fentanyl/SNC162 mixtures. Fentanyl, ketamine, SNC162, and all mixtures were tested up to doses that eliminated responding in most or all monkeys. [2]

Drug interactions can be influenced not only by the relative doses of two drugs in a mixture, but also by their relative time courses; nominal drug proportions in an administered mixture are most likely to approximate actual biologically available drug proportions if the drugs have similar time courses (e.g. Kenakin, 1987). Accordingly, the relative time courses of fentanyl, ketamine and SNC162 were compared in a group of four monkeys. For these time course experiments, either saline or a single dose of fentanyl, ketamine or SNC162 was administered, and 5 min response periods identical to those described above were initiated 10, 30, 100, and 300 min after administration. The fentanyl dose was determined as the ED90 dose from cumulative dosing experiments described above. Ketamine and SNC162 doses were based on their relative potency to fentanyl.[2]

Fentanyl/ketamine interactions were examined in a group of three monkeys, and fentanyl/SNC162 interactions were examined in a different group of four monkeys (three monkeys were included in both studies). Initially, complete dose-effect curves were determined for fentanyl (0.001–0.056 mg/kg) and ketamine (0.1–5.6 mg/kg) alone, or for fentanyl and SNC162 (0.1–10 mg/kg) alone. Subsequently, three mixtures of fentanyl in combination with ketamine or SNC162 were examined, and the proportions of each drug in the mixtures were identical to those examined in the assay of schedule-controlled responding described above. Each drug mixture was tested once, and any mixtures producing a synergistic effect were tested a second time to evaluate reliability of results. As in the assay of schedule-controlled responding, test sessions were conducted no more than twice a week, and tests with SNC162 alone or in combination with fentanyl were conducted only once per week. Time courses were not compared in the assay of thermal nociception because fentanyl was the only one of the three drugs that was active in this procedure.[2]

Interactions between fentanyl and SNC162 [2]
In contrast to ketamine, some proportions of SNC162 produced a selective enhancement in fentanyl antinociception. These results are consistent with previous studies demonstrating that delta agonists can produce a selective and delta receptor-mediated enhancement of the antinociceptive effects of mu agonists in rodents and rhesus monkeys (Negus et al., 2009; O’Neill et al., 1997; Stevenson et al., 2003; Stevenson et al., 2005). The present results extend these earlier findings in two ways. First, this study provides a direct comparison of interactions between a mu agonist and either a delta agonist or ketamine. Under the conditions studied here, only the delta agonist was able to produce a selective enhancement in mu agonist-induced antinociception. Consequently, these results provide one source of evidence to suggest that delta/mu interactions may yield greater clinical benefit than the more widely studied and potentially useful interactions between mu agonists and ketamine. Second, the present study extends to SNC162 the range of delta agonists that have been found to selectively enhance mu opioid antinociception in rhesus monkeys. The relatively modest antinociceptive synergy observed with fentanyl in combination with SNC162 may be related to the efficacy of SNC162 at delta receptors. We have reported previously that relatively high delta agonist efficacy is required to produce antinociceptive synergy in combination with mu agonists, and high-efficacy delta agonists such as SNC80 and SNC243A selectively enhanced mu agonist antinociception across a range of proportions and noxious stimulus intensities (Negus et al., 2009; Stevenson et al., 2003; Stevenson et al., 2005). SNC162 appears to have lower efficacy in both in vitro functional assays and in vivo behavioral assays than other delta agonists such as SNC80 (Jutkiewicz et al., 2004; Negus et al., 1998). Consequently, the weak enhancement of mu agonist-induced antinociception by SNC162 is consistent with its low efficacy at delta receptors.

---

Drug Time Course as Factor in Drug Interactions [2]
Time course data in the assay of schedule-controlled responding suggest that SNC162 had a slightly longer duration of action than ketamine. However, three findings argue against an important role for time course as a determinant of drug interactions in this study. First, all three drugs produced peak effects within 10 min, which was the pretreatment time used in assays of both schedule-controlled responding and thermal nociception. Thus, drug interactions in both assays were evaluated at the time of peak effect for all drugs. Second, cumulative dosing studies were conducted using half-log or quarter-log dose increments. Consequently, any cumulative drug dose was composed predominantly of the most recent drug dose, and residual drug from earlier doses made a smaller contribution. This suggests that minor differences in duration of action would be expected to result in relatively minor changes in actual drug proportions over the course of cumulative dosing. Finally, although drugs displayed different time courses when using differences from saline treatment as a criterion, they did not display different time courses relatively to each other. This again suggests that differences in time course were modest.

In the [35S]GTPγS autography experiments, striatal slices from rat brain were used to determine dose-concentration curves. Some previous work has demonstrated that δ-opioid agonist-stimulated GTPγS binding is greatest in the striatum (Hyytia et al., 1999). SNC86, SNC80, and SNC162 dose dependently stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding in rat striatal slices with EC50 values (±S.E.M.) of 0.81 (0.11), 67 (2.7), and 33 nM (2.5), respectively (Fig. 2). In addition, SNC86 demonstrated higher maximal...
SNC80 and its derivatives were evaluated in ex vivo measurements of [35S]GTPγS binding in rat brain slices of the caudate putamen. These studies demonstrated that SNC86 was the most potent and efficacious compound. SNC80 and SNC162 produced similar levels of GTPγS stimulation and had similar EC50 values (67 and 33 nM, respectively). However, in behavioral studies, these three compounds demonstrated a rank order of potency and efficacy with SNC86 as the most potent and efficacious compound,... [1]

The main finding of this study was that the noncompetitive NMDA antagonist ketamine failed to enhance the antinociceptive effects of fentanyl or improve the relative potency of fentanyl to produce antinociception vs. rate suppression in rhesus monkeys. In contrast, some combinations of fentanyl with the delta-opioid agonist SNC162 did produce synergistic antinociceptive effects and/or improve the potency to produce antinociception vs. rate suppression. These results suggest that delta agonists may be more effective than noncompetitive NMDA antagonists as adjuncts to mu agonist analgesics for the treatment of pain.

Effects of fentanyl, ketamine and SNC162 alone [2]
Effects of fentanyl, ketamine and SNC162 alone were consistent with previous studies. Thus, the mu-selective opioid analgesic fentanyl has been shown to produce antinociception in both rodents and nonhuman primates, and it is well-established as an opioid analgesic in humans (Baker et al., 2002; Dambisya and Lee, 1994; Gatch et al., 1998; Hoffmann et al., 2003b; Nadeson et al., 2002; Negus et al., 2008; Negus et al., 2009; Stevenson et al., 2003; Tucker et al., 2005). Fentanyl also produced a dose-dependent suppression of responding that was consistent with previous studies from our laboratory (Negus et al., 2008; Negus et al., 2009; Stevenson et al., 2003). As reported previously, SNC162 was ineffective in the tail withdrawal assay but produced a dose-dependent decrease in rates of schedule-controlled responding (Negus et al., 1998). Like SNC162, ketamine also failed to alter thermal nociception in the tail-withdrawal assay while producing dose-dependent decreases in rats of schedule-controlled responding. These findings generally agree with previous reports that ketamine and other noncompetitive NMDA antagonists do not alter thermal nociception up to doses that eliminate rates of schedule-controlled responding or produce other signs of marked sedation and motor impairment in rhesus monkeys (Butelman et al., 2003; Dykstra and Woods, 1986; France et al., 1989; Negus et al., 1993) or other species (Dambisya and Lee, 1994; Hoffmann et al., 2003b; Tucker et al., 2005). At high, sedative doses, ketamine and other noncompetitive NMDA antagonists may impair withdrawal responses (Dykstra and Woods, 1986; France et al., 1989), but in the present study, tail-withdrawal responses were preserved across the dose range examined, and higher doses were not tested to avoid severe motor impairment.

In the present study, it has been demonstrated that the δopioid receptor agonist SNC162 concentration-dependently inhibited ICa-L and Ito in rat ventricular myocytes. The study also indicated that the selective δ-opioid receptor antagonist naltrindole alone had no effects on ICa-L and Ito, while it completely abolished the effects of SNC162 on ICa-L and Ito, suggesting that the δ-opioid receptors mediate the inhibitory effects of SNC162 on ICa-L and Ito. The transmembrane influx of Ca2+ through the L-type Ca2+ channel is the main trigger for excitation-contraction coupling in the working myocardium[11]. However, it may be the important pathway by which the intracellular Ca2+ overload, thus the delayed after depolarization (DAD) and triggered arrhythmias were induced under the condition of digitalis toxicity or ischemic reperfusion[7,12]. Inhibition of ICa-L can reduce the transmembrane Ca2+ entry and attenuate intracellular Ca2+ overload. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of SNC162 on ICa-L may contribute to the antiarrhythmic effect of activating the δ-opioid receptors. Ito is activated by the rapid depolarization associated with INa and is responsible for the transient repolarization in phase 1 of the action potential[6]. It was reported that inhibition of Ito might prolong the action potential duration (APD)[13] and the effective refractory period, which will contribute largely to eliminating reentry thus decreasing the incidence of arrhythmia or fibrillation. Several antiarrhythmic drugs, such as flecainide, quinidine, disopyramide and tedisamil, were reported to inhibit Ito [14-16] non-selectively. The Ito blocker has been applied in the treatment of the Brugada syndrome[17] nowadays. In our experiment, it has been shown that SNC162 inhibited Ito, which may also be an antiarrhythmic mechanism by activation of the δ-opioid receptors. It was reported that the δ-opioid receptors have two subtypes, δ1 and δ2 [18]. However, both SNC162 and naltrindole used in this study were non-selective to δ1 or δ2 subtype. Our results indicate that the observed effects are δ-opioid receptor-relative only. The effects of the selective agonists to either subtype of δ-opioid receptors remain to be studied. In conclusion, SNC162 concentration-dependently inhibited ICa-L and Ito in rat ventricular myocytes via activating the δ-opioid receptors, which may be a fundamental mechanism underlying the antiarrhythmic effect by activating the δ-opioid receptors.[3]
