The binding properties of the new agonist Tyr-D-Ser(OtBu)-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr, DSTBULET, in rat brain tissue shows that insertion of a bulky t.butyl group into the sequence of DSLET leads to a conformationally-induced large increase in selectivity for delta opioid receptors (KI(delta)/KI(mu) = 0.012). In addition to its similar selectivity to that of the cyclic enkephalins DPDPE and DPLPE, the affinity of [3H]DSTBULET for delta sites (KD = 2.9 nM) is significantly better than that of [3H]DPDPE (KD approximately 10.5 nM) or DPLPE (KI (delta) approximately 19 nM). DSTBULET is therefore the most appropriate probe for both binding studies and pharmacological investigations of delta-receptors as illustrated by a comparison of the analgesic properties of DAGO, DSTBULET and DPLPE.

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.
