RESUMEN

Exorphins, peptides with opioid activity, have previously been isolated from pepsin hydrolysates of alpha-casein [Zioudrou, C., Streaty, R. A., & Klee, W. A. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 2446-2449]. Analysis of these peptides shows that they correspond to the sequences 90-96, Arg-Tyr-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Glu, and 90-95, Arg-Tyr-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Leu, of alpha-casein. These peptides, as well as two of their analogues Tyr-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Glu (91-96) and Tyr-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Leu (91-95), have now been synthesized and characterized. Their opioid activity was examined by three different bioassays: (a) displacement of D-2-alanyl[tyrosyl-3,5-3H]enkephalin-(5-L-methioninamide) and [3H]dihydromorphine from rat brain membranes; (b) naloxone-reversible inhibition of adenylate cyclase in homogenates of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells; (c) naloxone-reversible inhibition of electrically stimulated contractions of the mouse vas deferens. The synthetic peptide of sequence 90-96 was the most potent opioid in all three bioassays and its potency was similar to that of the isolated alpha-casein exorphins. The synthetic peptides were totally resistant to hydrolysis by trypsin and homogenates of rat brain membranes, but were partially inactivated by chymotrypsin and subtilisin. The difference in opioid activity of alpha-casein exorphins may be related to differences in conformational flexibility observed by NMR spectroscopy.

RESUMEN

Photolabile derivatives of D-Ala2-Leu5-enkephalin were prepared by synthetic procedures in which a 2-nitro-4-azidophenyl group is linked to the terminal carboxyl group of the enkephalin by means of an ethylenediamine or ethylenediamine beta-alanine spacer. These peptides bind to opiate receptors with nanomolar affinities and inhibit electrically stimulated contractions of the mouse vas deferens and adenylate cyclase activity of NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell membranes. Both inhibitions are reversed by the opiate antagonist naloxone. Photolysis of the ligands bound to rat brain membranes results in the loss of approximately 50% of the receptor sites. This decrease in receptor number is blocked by naloxone and requires light. A photolabile [3H]enkephalin derivative labels an equivalent number of sites under similar irradiation conditions.

RESUMEN

The 2-nitro-4-azidophenyl(NAP)-D-Ala2-Leu5-Enkephalin derivatives: Try-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu CONCH2CH2NH-NAP (E-NAP-EDA) and Try-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu CONCH2CH2NH-COCH2CH2NHNAP(E-NAP- -Ala-EDA) were synthesized by conventional peptide methods. Their structure was determined by amino acid analysis, ultra violet, visible and infra red spectroscopy. Both peptides were shown a) to bind with high affinity to the opiate receptors of rat brain membranes and b) to inhibit strongly the contractions of electrically stimulated vas deferens and the adenyl cyclase of the NG 108-15 cell membranes. These effects were reversed by the antagonist naloxone. Photoloysis of the rat brain membranes-(E-NAP- -Ala-EDA) complex caused a 20-30% inactivation of the opiate receptors. Inactivation was prevented when the complex was irradiated in the presence of naloxone. The radio-labeled derivatives of these enkephalin analogs may prove useful photochemical labels of the opiate receptor.
