Article Title: | Differential sensitivities of mouse strains to morphine and [Dmt1]DALDA analgesia |
Abstract: | [Dmt1]DALDA (H-Dmt-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2), is a highly potent and selective μ-opioid agonist. Nevertheless, systemic [Dmt1]DALDA retained its analgesic actions in MOR-1 knockout animals and CXBK mice despite the inactivity of morphine in these mice. [Dmt1]DALDA was 6-fold less potent in C57BL/6J mice than in CD-1 mice, whereas morphine potency did not differ between the two strains. Thus, [Dmt1]DALDA is a highly selective μ-opioid analgesic with significant pharmacological differences with the prototypic μ-opioid morphine. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
