Application
BNTX, a selective nonpeptide σ1 opioid receptor (DOR1) antagonist, is used in σ opioid receptor research to help differentiate and characterized the function and role of the σ1 opioid receptor versus other σ opioid receptor subtypes. BNTX was used to help define the role of σ1 opioid receptors in neurological processes such as anxiety. It was used to help define the role of σ opioid receptors in myocardial infarct development and size.
Biochem/physiol Actions
BNTX is a selective nonpeptide δ1 opioid receptor antagonist. It antagonizes the effect of D-Pen2,5-enkephalin (a δ1 agonist 4-6 fold, but did not affect the activity of δ2 or μ agonists.<<<107>>> BNTX is used to discriminate among opioid receptor subtypes in effects such as alcohol and drug dependence. It binds 100× more tightly to δ1 than to δ2 receptors. In the tail-flick assay, antinocieceptive ED50 = 646.4 pmol/mouse.
