Deltakephalin, Tyr-D-Thr-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr (DTLET) was rationally designed as pure delta-probe from proposed models of mu and delta opiate receptors. On peripheral organs, deltakephalin displays a 3000 times higher inhibitory potency on the electrically stimulated mouse vas deferens (IC50 = 0.15 nM) as on the guinea pig ileum (IC50 = 460 nM). As expected [3H]deltakephalin interacts at 35 degrees C in rat brain tissue to a single class of binding sites (delta) (Bmax = 0.115 pmole/mg protein) with a high affinity: KD = 1.35 nM from equilibrium measurements and KD = 0.43 nM from kinetic determinations. Deltakephalin occurs as the most specific ligand for delta-binding sites as shown by the following discrimination ratios KI(mu)/KI(delta): 0.31 for D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin; 0.15 for D-Ser2-Thr6-Leu-enkephalin and 0.05 for deltakephalin.
强啡肽,酪氨酰-D-苏氨酰-甘氨酰-苯丙氨酰-亮氨酰-苏氨酸(DTLET)是根据μ和δ阿片受体的模型合理设计的纯δ探针。在周围器官上,强啡肽对电刺激的小鼠输精管的抑制效力(IC50 = 0.15 nM)比对豚鼠回肠的抑制效力(IC50 = 460 nM)高3000倍。正如预期的那样,[3H]强啡肽在35℃下与大鼠脑组织中的一类单一结合位点(δ)相互作用(Bmax = 0.115 pmol/mg蛋白质),具有高亲和力:通过平衡测量得出KD = 1.35 nM,通过动力学测定得出KD = 0.43 nM。如下所示的鉴别率KI(μ)/KI(δ)表明,强啡肽是δ结合位点最特异的配体:D-Ala2-D-Leu5-脑啡肽为0.31;D-Ser2-Thr6-亮氨酸-脑啡肽为0.15,强啡肽为0.05。
