The effects of protection by D-Pen2-D-Pen5-enkephalin or D-Ala2-NMePhe4-Gly-ol-enkephalin against beta-chlornaltrexamine in the spinal cord on the antinociception induced by beta-endorphin administered intracerebroventricularly in the mouse. 1994

Chlornaltrexamine (beta-CNA, 0.5 micrograms) alone or beta-CNA plus either mu-agonist, D-Ala2-NMePhe4-Gly-ol-enkephalin (DAMGO, 500 ng) or delta-agonist, D-Pen2-D-Pen5-enkephalin (DPDPE, 10 micrograms) was injected intrathecally (i.t.) to protect mu- or delta-opioid receptors, respectively, for 24 h in male ICR mice. The antinociception was assessed by the tail-flick and hot-plate test. DPDPE or DAMGO injected i.t. increased inhibition of the tail-flick and hot-plate response in a dose-dependent manner. The dose-response curve for tail-flick and hot-plate response induced by DPDPE or DAMGO in i.t. saline-treated group significantly shifted to the right in i.t. beta-CNA alone treated group but returned to the control level in the group treated with i.t. beta-CNA coadministered with DPDPE or DAMGO, respectively. The effects of protection of mu- and delta-opioid receptor in the spinal cord on inhibition of the tail-flick and hot-plate response induced by beta-endorphin and morphine administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) were then studied. Intrathecal pretreatment with beta-CNA or beta-CNA coadministered with DAMGO attenuated inhibition of the tail-flick response induced by beta-endorphin administered i.c.v. However, i.t. treatment with beta-CNA coadministered with DPDPE did not affect inhibition of the tail-flick response induced by beta-endorphin administered i.c.v. Intrathecal pretreatment with beta-CNA or beta-CNA coadministered with either DPDPE or DAMGO did not alter inhibition of the hot-plate response induced by beta-endorphin administered i.c.v.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
