Sample Use Guides

In a clinical trial, dermorphin was given at a dose of 20 uM intrathecally.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Rat neurons were treated with dermorphin. The drug caused the inhibition of spontaneous firing of all neurons of the locus coeruleus tested, with an IC50 of 7 nM. Larger concentrations of dermorphin (30-100 nM) further hyperpolarized the neurons of the locus coeruleus and simultaneously caused a reduction in input resistance. These effects were antagonized by naloxone, with a dissociation equilibrium constant of 0.8 nM.
