We report presently that 30 min after intracerebroventricular injection of 20 or 200 mu Ci [H-3]Tyr-Pro (49.9 Ci mmol(-1)) the incorporated radioactivity was found in endomorphin-related tetra- and tripeptides in rat brain extracts. As detected by the combination of HPLC with radiodetection, a peak corresponding to endomorphin-2-OH could be identified in two of four extracts of "20 mu Ci" series. Radioactive peaks in position of Tyr, Tyr-Pro, Tyr-Pro-Phe or Tyr-Pro-Trp appeared regularly in both series and also in the "tetrapeptide cluster" constituted by endomorphins and their free carboxylic forms. In one of the four extracts in the "200 mu Ci" series a robust active peak in the position of endomorphin 2 could be detected. Intracerebroventricularly injected 100 mmol, but not 10 or 1000 nmol cold Tyr-Pro (devoid of opioid activity in vitro), caused a naloxone-reversible prolongation of tail-flick latency in rats, peaking between 15 and 30 min. We suggest that Tyr-Pro may serve as a biosynthetic precursor to endomorphin synthesis. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

A number of C-terminal modifications decreased the binding affinity to the mu-opioid receptor and the intrinsic activity in rat brain membranes. The exception was E2-ol, which showed increased binding affinity to MOR and higher potency in stimulating [S-35]GTPgammaS binding. N-methylation of Phe(3) (MePhe(3)) attenuated the binding affinity and produced a rightward shift of [S-35]GTPgammaS binding curves. All derivatives had lower intrinsic activity than E2. Some of the modified peptides partially inhibited, while YPF-benzyl-allyl- amide fully inhibited, the E2 or [D- Ala(2),MePhe(4),Gly(5)ol]enkephalin stimulated [S-35]GTPgammaS binding. Marked differences were found between the results obtained using tritiated E2, tritiated naloxone, and [S- 35]GTPgammaS binding, indicating the possible involvement of multiple binding sites. The data presented demonstrate that the C-terminal amide group has an essential role in the regulation of the binding and the agonist/antagonist properties of E2.
