ABSTRACT

Using cyclodextrin capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE), baseline separation of synthetic potential analgesic drug diastereoisomer candidates 6,11-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-3-[(2'-methoxycarbonyl-2'-phenylc yclopropyl)methyl]-2,6-methano-3-benzazocin-8-ol (MPCB) and 6,11-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-3-[[2'-methoxycarbonyl-2'(4-chloroph enyl)cyclopropyl]methyl]-2,6-methano-3-benzazocin-8-ol (CCB) was achieved. Among the cyclodextrins tested (hydroxypropyl-, carboxymethyl- and sulfobutyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD, CM-beta-CD and SBE-beta-CD)) SBE-beta-CD was found to be the most effective complexing agent, allowing good optical isomer separation. Resolution was also influenced by the CD concentration, pH of the buffer and presence of organic modifier in the background electrolyte. The optimum experimental conditions for the separation of studied analgesic drugs were found using 25 mM borate buffer at pH 9 containing 40 mM of SBE-beta-CD and 20% v/v of methanol. Using the above-mentioned background electrolyte, it was also possible to separate, in the same run, the enantiomers of normetazocine (NMZ) as well as the optical isomers of (+/-)-cis-2-chloromethyl-1-phenyl cyclopropancarboxylic acid methyl ester (PCE) or (+/-)-cis-2-chloromethyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclopropancarboxylic acid methyl ester (CPCE) reagents used in the synthesis of the studied analgesic drugs).

ABSTRACT

The effects of two general anesthetics, nitrous oxide and halothane, and oxygen on mu and kappa opioid receptor subtypes from guinea-pig brain were investigated. mu receptor binding was defined using [3H]dihydromorphine as the ligand. Nitrous oxide (100%) and halothane (2%) decreased the [3H]dihydromorphine binding affinity (Kdair = 0.87 nM, KdN2O = 1.45 nM, Kdhalothane = 2.30 nM) without affecting the density of binding sites. A decrease in the [3H]dihydromorphine binding affinity without influence on the density of binding sites was also observed in the presence of 100% oxygen (KdO2 = 1.40 nM). kappa receptor binding was defined using [3H](-)ethylketocyclazocine as the ligand, in the presence of 100 nM D-ala2-D-leu5-enkephalin and 30 nM morphine. While 100% nitrous oxide caused a slight decrease in [3H](-)ethylketocyclazocine binding affinity (Kdair = 0.24 nM, KdN2O = 0.31 nM) and a substantial decrease in the density of binding sites (Bmaxair = 115 fmol/mg protein, BmaxN2O = 84 fmol/mg protein), halothane dramatically affected both the affinity (Kdhalothane = 0.70 nM) and density (Bmaxhalothane = 38 fmol/mg protein). Oxygen (100%) reduced [3H]dihydromorphine binding affinity. Differential effects of two anesthetics on the same receptor or distinct actions of the same anesthetic on different receptors could indicate the presence of specific targets for anesthetics at the membrane level. Conversely, effects of volatile anesthetics on opioid receptors could reflect a non-specific perturbation of the lipidic and proteinaceous components of the membranes.

ABSTRACT

Previous studies using a variety of opiate ligands have suggested the existence of several subclasses of opiate receptors in crude membrane fractions of rat brain, and a similar diversity in bovine adrenal medulla. To examine the receptor profile of bovine adrenal medulla in detail we have studied the binding of classical ligands for mu (mu), delta (delta) and kappa (kappa) opiate receptors. [3H]naloxone ([3H]NAL), [3H]morphine ([3H]MOR), [3H]D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin ([3H]DAL) and [3H]ethyl-ketocyclazocine ([3H]EKCZ) were used as tracers; unlabeled competitors were NAL, MOR, DAL and ketocyclazocine (KCZ). In adrenal medulla [3H]NAL was specifically bound with a hierarchy of displacement NAL greater than MOR greater than KCZ much greater than DAL. No specific binding of [3H]DAL or [3H]EKCZ was found; for [3H]MOR very low levels of binding were seen, with no displacement by NAL or DAL, inconsistent displacement by KCZ and substantial displacement by MOR with an ED50 of 1.5 nM. In parallel studies rat brain membranes bound each labeled ligand with affinity and specificity consistent with previously published reports. Identical results were obtained in membranes from both tissues prepared with a preincubation step including 100 mM Na+, suggesting that the results were not influenced by occupation of binding sites by endogenous ligands. We interpret these data as supporting the existence of opiate receptors of the mu subtype in bovine adrenal medulla. We find, however, no evidence of delta or kappa sites in this tissue.
