1.MECHANISM OF ACTION
Met-Enkephalin primarily exerts its effects by binding to and activating δ-opioid (DOP) and μ-opioid (MOP) receptors as an agonist. Its mechanism involves:
- Receptor Activation: It binds with higher affinity to δ-opioid receptors, but also activates μ-opioid receptors.
- G-protein Coupling: Receptor activation inhibits adenylate cyclase, reducing intracellular cAMP levels.
- Ion Channel Modulation: It opens G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, causing neuronal hyperpolarization, and inhibits voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing neurotransmitter release (e.g., glutamate, substance P).
- Pain Signal Inhibition: This combined action suppresses the transmission of pain signals at spinal and supraspinal levels, producing analgesia.
2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS
This product is indicated for a wide range of in vitro and in vivo research applications, including:
- Neuroscience & Pain Research: Investigating endogenous pain control systems, analgesia, and the pathophysiology of chronic pain.
- Neuropharmacology: Studying opioid receptor function, signaling, and the effects of receptor agonists/antagonists.
- Psychiatry & Addiction Research: Exploring its role in reward pathways, mood regulation, stress responses, and substance use disorders.
- Immunology: Researching the interaction between the opioid and immune systems (e.g., on immune cell function).
- Cell Signaling & Biochemistry: Used as a ligand in receptor binding assays and to study G-protein mediated signaling pathways.
3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT
As an endogenous neuropeptide, Met-Enkephalin itself is not used as a direct therapeutic due to its rapid enzymatic degradation (by peptidases like NEP and ACE). However, its physiological role is fundamental, and strategies to enhance its activity are clinically relevant.
- Validated Therapeutic Target: The enkephalinergic system is a major target for pain management. The clinical efficacy of targeting this pathway is demonstrated by opioid analgesics that act on the same receptors (MOP/DOP).
- Enkephalinase Inhibitors: Drugs that inhibit the enzymes that degrade enkephalins (e.g., racecadotril) are used clinically for conditions like diarrhea, based on enhancing endogenous enkephalin activity in the gut.
- Prototype for Drug Development: Met-Enkephalin serves as the lead structure for developing more stable, potent, and receptor-selective analgesic peptides, aiming for pain relief with fewer side effects than traditional opioids.
