, 1988 The discovery of endogenous opioids has begun an intricate saga involving multiple ligands and multiple receptors that form an extensive neuronal network in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. This intricacy is reflected in the complex pharmacology and diverse physiological effects of opioids in mammals.

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1979
Opioid peptides are endogenous or synthetic peptides, with a spectrum of pharmacological activity similar to that of morphine and other narcotic agonist drugs. The designation opioid peptide can be made if (a) it produces morphine-like, naloxone reversible effects in several in vitro bioassay sys tems such as the guinea pig ileum (1), the cat ...

Regulation of Opioid Receptors by Their Endogenous Opioid Peptides
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 2021Activation of μ, δ, and κ opioid receptors by endogenous opioid peptides leads to the regulation of many emotional and physiological responses. The three major endogenous opioid peptides, β-endorphin, enkephalins, and dynorphins result from the processing of three main precursors: proopiomelanocortin, proenkephalin, and prodynorphin.

Opioid and somatostatin systems are two main inhibitory systems in mammals implicated in a variety of processes from hormone secretion to the modulation of cell proliferation. Opioids and opioid receptors were found in a great diversity of primary human tumors and in various cancer cell lines.

Soymorphin-5 (YPFVV) derived from soybean β-conglycinin β-subunit is a μ-opioid agonist peptide having anxiolytic-like activity. Here, we show that soymorphin-5 improves glucose and lipid metabolism after long-term oral administration to KKAy mice, a ...

Cyclization in Opioid Peptides
Current Drug Targets, 2013Endogenous opioid peptides have been studied extensively as potential therapeutics for the treatment of pain. The major problems of using natural opioid peptides as drug candidates are their poor receptor specificity, metabolic instability and inability to reach the brain after systemic administration.

Opioid and anti‐opioid peptides
Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 1995Summary— The numerous endogenous opioid peptides (β‐endorphin, enkephalins, dynorphins…) and the exogenous opioids (such as morphine) exert their effects through the activation of receptors belonging to four main types: μ, Δ, k and ε. Opioidergic neurones and opioid receptors are largely distributed centrally and peripherally. It is thus not surprising

Opioid Peptides and their Receptors
1982The three agonists, methionine-enkephalin, leucine-enkephalin and beta-endorphin have different pharmacological patterns. It may be of particular importance that they vary in their relative affinities to the enkephalin and naltrexone binding sites in the brain; the former are probably related to delta-receptors prevalent in the mouse vas deferens and ...
