The nociceptin (NC)/orphanin FQ analog, [Arg(14), Lys(15)]NC, has been recently demonstrated to behave as a potent agonist at the human recombinant NC receptors (OP4). In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological profile of [Arg(14), Lys(15)]NC in vitro on the native OP4 receptors expressed in isolated tissues and in vivo in the locomotor activity and the tail-withdrawal assays in mice.

Abstract

The nociceptin (NC)/orphanin FQ analog, [Arg(14), Lys(15)]NC, has been recently demonstrated to behave as a potent agonist at the human recombinant NC receptors (OP4). In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological profile of [Arg(14), Lys(15)]NC in vitro on the native OP4 receptors expressed in isolated tissues and in vivo in the locomotor activity and the tail-withdrawal assays in mice.
