Prolyl-leucyl-glycinamide, cyclo(leucylglycine), and derivatives block development of physical dependence on morphine in mice
Abstract
Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 (MIF) and several structural analogues, all injected in 50-microgram doses daily in mice receiving morphine chronically, were found to prevent development of physical dependence as measured by changes in body temperature associated with naloxone-induced withdrawal. Dose-response studies, using again a protocol of daily injections of peptide at 50, 5, 0.5, 0.05, 0.005 microgram per mouse revealed MIF and cyclo(Leu-Gly) to be the most potent peptides and to be effective in blocking physical dependence to morphine at a dose as low as 0.5 and 0.05 microgram per mouse, respectively. The benzyloxycarbonyl derivative of MIF, Pro-Leu, and Pro- -Leu exhibited significant activities down to a dose of 5 microgram of peptide per mouse.
