Opioid analgesics are widely used in moderate to severe pain including renal colic. Morphine is believed to cause spasm of ureter and affect the bladder contractions. Thienorphine is a partial opioid agonist that is a good candidate for the treatment of opioid dependence and pain. This study examined the effects of thienorphine on the guinea pig isolated ureter and bladder. The contractile amplitude of isolated ureter induced by KCl (40mM) was not influenced by thienorphine or buprenorphine, whereas morphine increased the amplitude of the isolated ureter. Thienorphine, buprenorphine or naloxone concentration-dependently antagonized the isolated ureter contraction induced by morphine. Thienorphine (1.0-32.0μM) or buprenorphine (1.0-32.0μM) had no effects on the spontaneous or acetylcholine (Ach) induced contractions of isolated bladder, but decreased the amplitude of the contractions of isolated bladder at 100μM concentration. Morphine (0.1-3.2mM) concentration dependently increased the spontaneous movement and Ach (1μM) induced contractions of isolated bladder. The mRNA levels of μ receptor in the ureter and bladder was as the same as that in the frontal cortex. In comparison, the mRNA levels of κ receptor, δ receptor and N/OFQ receptor was fewer than that in the frontal cortex. In summary, thienorphine has little influence on the guinea pig isolated ureter and bladder compared with morphine, which may result in a lack of adverse renal colic effects.

D008297 Male Males
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments. Inotropism,Muscular Contraction,Contraction, Muscle,Contraction, Muscular,Contractions, Muscle,Contractions, Muscular,Inotropisms,Muscle Contractions,Muscular Contractions
D011189 Potassium Chloride A white crystal or crystalline powder used in BUFFERS; FERTILIZERS; and EXPLOSIVES. It can be used to replenish ELECTROLYTES and restore WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE in treating HYPOKALEMIA. Slow-K,Chloride, Potassium
D011957 Receptors, Opioid Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.

D001743 Urinary Bladder A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.

D002047 Buprenorphine A derivative of the opioid alkaloid THEBAINE that is a more potent and longer lasting analgesic than MORPHINE. It appears to act as a partial agonist at mu and kappa opioid receptors and as an antagonist at delta receptors. The lack of delta-agonist activity has been suggested to account for the observation that buprenorphine tolerance may not develop with chronic use. 6029-M,Buprenex,Buprenorphine Hydrochloride,Buprex,Prefin,RX-6029-M,Subutex,Temgesic,Temgésic,6029 M,6029M,Hydrochloride, Buprenorphine,RX 6029 M,RX6029M
