The opioid receptor antagonist properties of four conformationally constrained cyclic octapeptide analogues of somatostatin were investigated using in vitro functional paradigms of mu-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptors in the rat brain. The analogues examined were D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTOP), D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTAP), D-Tic-CTOP (TCTOP) and D-Tic-CTAP (TCTAP). Activation of mu-receptors by the enkephalin analogue Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(NMe)Phe-Gly-ol (DAGO) inhibited the (electrically evoked) release of [H-3]noradrenaline (NA) from superfused cortical slices and this inhibitory effect was antagonized in a competitive fashion by all of the octapeptides tested (pA2 values: CTOP and CTAP 7.9-8.0, TCTOP and TCTAP 8.7-8.8). Selective activation of kappa-opioid receptors by the cyclohexylbenzeneacetamide U69593 (0.02-mu-M) inhibited (by 40-45%) the release of [H-3]dopamine (DA) from striatal slices, whereas selective activation of delta-opioid receptors by [D-Ser2(O-t-butyl),Leu5]enkephalyl-Thr6 (DSTBULET; 0.1-mu-M) caused an inhibition (by 38-46%) of striatal [C-14]acetylcholine (ACh) release. However, these inhibitory effects were not affected by any of the octapeptides in concentrations that caused full antagonism of the inhibitory effect (55-65%) of 0.1-mu-M DAGO on cortical [H-3]NA release. Thus, the cyclic octapeptide somatostatin analogues CTOP, CTAP, TCTOP and TCTAP are potent and highly selective antagonists at the mu-opioid receptors mediating presynaptic inhibition of NA release in the brain. The mu-receptor affinity of the most potent of these antagonists, TCTOP and TCTAP, appears to be similar to that of naloxone but these antagonists have a much greater selectivity than the latter.
