| Bioactivity | Endomorphin 1, a high affinity, highly selective agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (Ki: 1.11 nM), displays reasonable affinities for kappa3 binding sites, with Ki value between 20 and 30 nM. Endomorphin 1 has antinociceptive properties[1][2][4]. | ||||||
| Invitro | Endomorphin 1 inhibits Forskolin (HY-15371) (1 μM) stimulated cyclic AMP formation with a pIC50 value of 8.03 in In CHOμ cells[5].Endomorphin 1 (1-10 μM) increases interleukin-8 secretion in Caco-2 cells[6].Endomorphin 1 (1 μM) inhibits excitatory transmission in adult rat substantia gelatinosa neurons[7]. | ||||||
