U-69593

Использование

U-69593 is a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist. A safe opioid analgesic.

Определение

ChEBI: U69593 is a monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation between the carboxy group of phenylacetic acid and the secodary amino group of (5R,7S,8S)-N-methyl-7-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-amine. It has a role as a kappa-opioid receptor agonist, an anti-inflammatory agent and a diuretic. It is an oxaspiro compound, a N-alkylpyrrolidine, an organic heterobicyclic compound and a monocarboxylic acid amide.

Биологические функции

U-69593 is a single enantiomer with very high selectivity for the kappa receptor in vitro (mu/kappa ratio = 484). It was radiolabelled by a catalytic exchange of tritium for the two aromatic chlorine substituents of the precursor. This ligand is commercially available and has been widely used as a radiolabel for the kappa receptor.
in spinal cordslice preparations from the 9-16-day-old rat,U-69593 produced a na-loxone-reversible depression of spontaneous and electrically evoked activityin dorsal horn neurones.

Биохимия/физиол Действия

U-69593 is a selective κ opioid receptor agonist. U-69593 is known to inhibit cocaine sensitization in meso-limbic dopamine neurons by normalizing basal overflow of dopamine.
