Six naturally occurring homologs of beta-endorphin were tested for their potency in inhibiting the binding of [3H]naloxone and [3H]-beta h-endorphin either in the presence or in the absence of Na+. Sodium ion reduces inhibitory potency of these homologs against [3H]-beta h-endorphin and [3H]naloxone to about the same extent. The ratio of the IC50 obtained with Na+ to that obtained without Na+ is not highly correlated with analgesic potency. Very high (greater than 300) sodium ratios are observed with some homologs. A significant rank correlation was found between the ratio of the relative potency in displacing [3H]beta h-endorphin to the relative potency in analgesia and potency in inhibiting the binding of the pure antagonist naloxone.
对β-内啡肽的六种天然存在的同系物进行了测试,以考察它们在存在或不存在Na+的情况下抑制[3H]纳洛酮和[3H]-βh-内啡肽结合的效力。钠离子使这些同系物对[3H]-βh-内啡肽和[3H]纳洛酮的抑制效力降低到大致相同的程度。有Na+时获得的IC50与无Na+时获得的IC50之比与镇痛效力没有高度相关性。在一些同系物中观察到非常高(大于300)的钠比。在置换[3H]βh-内啡肽的相对效力与镇痛相对效力之比以及抑制纯拮抗剂纳洛酮结合的效力之间发现了显著的等级相关性。
