The binding characteristics of the kappa opioid ligands
[3H]U69,593 and [3H]bremazocine, the
mu opioid ligand
[3H][D-ala2,N-Me-Phe4,glycol5]enkephalin
and the delta opioid ligand
[3H]p-Cl-[D-pen2,5]enkephalin
were studied in rhesus monkey brain membranes in saturation binding
experiments and were followed by competition binding experiments with a
variety of peptidic and nonpeptidic opioid ligands. The [3H]U69,593 sites appeared to be a subset of
kappa opioid receptors (kappa-1
receptors: Kd, 1.2 nM;
Bmax, 66 fmol/mg).
[3H]Bremazocine (in the presence of mu and
delta receptor-masking agents), bound to a larger
population of kappa receptors (kappa-all: Kd, 0.39 nM;
Bmax, 227 fmol/mg), which presumably
included the aforementioned kappa-1 sites. Competition
binding experiments revealed that the presently defined
kappa-1 sites were similar to previously reported sites
in other mammalian species, particularly in terms of the higher
kappa-1 selectivity observed with arylacetamide (e.g., U50,488) vs. benzomorphan
kappa agonists (e.g.,
ethylketocyclazocine). The kappa-selective antagonist
norbinaltorphimine (nor-BNI) displayed a very small (2.3-fold)
selectivity for kappa-1 vs.
kappa-all sites. This led to the prediction that in
rhesus monkeys (n = 3), systemically administered
nor-BNI (10 mg/kg s.c.) should have a very moderate degree of
antagonist selectivity for the antinociceptive effects of a putative
kappa-1-agonist, the arylacetamide U50,488 (0.1-3.2
mg/kg s.c.), vs. those of the benzomorphan
kappa agonist ethylketocyclazocine (0.01-056 mg/kg
s.c.). This prediction was confirmed in vivo because
nor-BNI (10 mg/kg) caused a robust and long lasting (up to 21 days)
antagonism of the antinociceptive effects of U50,488 and a small but
significant antagonism of ethylketocyclazocine. The arylacetamide
congener CI-977 (enadoline), which displayed an 11-fold
kappa-1 vs. kappa-all
binding selectivity, was not sensitive to nor-BNI pretreatment. This
indicates that the kappa subtype-binding profile of an
agonist is not necessarily predictive of its sensitivity to nor-BNI
in vivo. Overall, the present results suggest that at
least two functional kappa receptor populations may be
present in rhesus monkey brain.
