CTOP has been used:to study the anxiogenic effects induced by CTOP in mice and rat.to study the effect of ?-opioid antagonist, CTOP on the bovine milk-derived LF (BLF)-induced analgesia.to determine whether ?-opioid receptors act cooperatively with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1A) receptors to regulate the behaviors generated in the elevated T-maze (ETM).
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Pen-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTOP) inhibits acute morphine-induced hypermotility and analgesic effect of morphine in a dose-dependent manner in vivo.
Selective ligand for µ-opioid receptors.
General description
D-Pen-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTOP) is a selective cyclic ?-opioid receptor antagonist.
