Biological Activity
SNC80 (NIH 10815) is a potent, highly selective and non-peptide δ-opioid receptor agonist with a Ki of 1.78 nM and an IC50 of 2.73 nM. SNC80 also selectively activates μ-δ heteromer in HEK293 cells with an EC50 of 52.8 nM. SNC80 shows antinociceptive, antihyperalgesic and antidepressant‐like effects. SNC80 has the potential for multiple headache disorders treatment[1][2][3][4][5][6].
In Vitro
SNC80 selectively activates μ-δ heteromer in HEK293 cells with an EC50 of 52.8 nM. SNC80 exhibits substantially greater activity in cells coexpressing μ- and δ-opioid receptors than in cells either singly expressing δ-opioid receptors or coexpressing δ- and κ-opioid receptors[4].
In Vivo
SNC80 (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once; C57BL6/J mice) treatment significantly attenuated this allodynia caused by overuse of Sumatriptan[1]. Animal Model: Male and female C57BL6/J mice (20-30g) injected with Sumatriptan[1] Dosage: 10 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; once Result: Significantly attenuated allodynia.
Target
IC50: 2.73 nM (δ-opioid receptor), 5457 nM (μ-opioid receptor)[3] Ki: 1.78 nM (δ-opioid receptor), 881.5 nM (μ-opioid receptor) and 441.8 nM (κ-opioid receptor)[2]
