The aim of the study was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profile of cebranopadol, a novel agonist for opioid and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) receptors (NOP). In vitro cebranopadol was assayed in calcium mobilization studies in cells coexpressing NOP or opioid receptors and chimeric G-proteins and in a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assay for studying receptor interaction with G-protein and -arrestin 2. The mouse tail withdrawal and formalin tests were used for investigating cebranopadol antinociceptive properties. In calcium mobilization studies cebranopadol showed the following rank order of potency NOP = mu > kappa ≥ delta. In BRET studies, cebranopadol promoted NOP and mu receptors interaction with G-protein with similar high potency and efficacy. However, cebranopadol did not stimulated NOP--arrestin 2 interactions and displayed reduced potency at mu/-arrestin 2. In vivo, cebranopadol exhibits highly potent and extremely long-lasting antinociceptive effects. The effects of cebranopadol in the tail withdrawal assay were sensitive to both SB-612111 and naloxone. Collectively the present results confirm and extend previous finding demonstrating that cebranopadol, by acting as mixed NOP/opioid receptor agonist, elicits robust analgesic effects in different pain models.
本研究旨在探究cebranopadol的体外和体内药理学特性,cebranopadol是一种新型的阿片类和孤啡肽/孤啡肽FQ(N/OFQ)受体(NOP)激动剂。在体外,cebranopadol在共表达NOP或阿片类受体及嵌合G蛋白的细胞的钙动员研究中进行了检测,并在生物发光共振能量转移(BRET)试验中用于研究受体与G蛋白及β-抑制蛋白2的相互作用。小鼠甩尾试验和福尔马林试验用于研究cebranopadol的抗伤害感受特性。在钙动员研究中,cebranopadol显示出以下效价顺序:NOP = μ>κ≥δ。在BRET研究中,cebranopadol促进NOP和μ受体与G蛋白的相互作用,效力和效能相似且都很高。然而,cebranopadol未刺激NOP与β-抑制蛋白2的相互作用,且在μ/β-抑制蛋白2处的效力降低。在体内,cebranopadol表现出高效且极其持久的抗伤害感受作用。cebranopadol在甩尾试验中的作用对SB - 612111和纳洛酮均敏感。总体而言,目前的结果证实并扩展了先前的发现,表明cebranopadol作为NOP/阿片类受体混合激动剂,在不同疼痛模型中引发强大的镇痛作用。
