l. D’-Ala-2, met-5-enkephalinamide application to the cerebral ganglia of Leucophaea maderae results in a decrease in locomotor activity. The opiate antagonist, naloxone, can block this effect as well as the depressant effect of morphine on locomotor activity. 2. D-Ala-2, leu-S-enkephalinamide and dynorphin enhance locomotor activity following their topical application to the cerebral ganglia. This effect also can be antagonized by concomitant naloxone treatment.3. Benzomorphans were the most potent ligands tested in their ability to displace [‘HID’-ala-Z, met-5-enkephalinamide whereas mu and delta ligands were by comparison less potent. These results suggest the presence of kappa-like opioid receptors in Leucophaea cerebral ganglia. 4. The kappa ligands also are potent in enhancing locomotor activity in addition to being weakly antagonized by naloxone. Again, these results indicate the presence of multiple-opiate receptor types in invertebrates.
