  • 1-a  Binding affinities for μ-, δ-, and κ-receptors were determined by displacing, respectively, [3H]DAMGO (H-Tyr-d-Ala-Gly-N-Me-Phe-Gly-ol), [3H]DSLET (H-Tyr-d-Ser-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr-OH), and [3H]U69,593 from rat or guinea pig brain membrane binding sites, as reported elsewhere (Schiller et al., 1978,2000).

  • 1-b  The agonist potencies of the three compounds were determined in the guinea pig ileum assay and in the mouse vas deferens assay as reported elsewhere (Schiller et al., 1978; DiMaio et al., 1982).
