    Abstract: beta-Endorphin, an opiate-like peptide, has potent antinociceptive properties when it is administered directly into the brain and assayed in the the tail-flick, hot-plate, and writhing tests in mice and in the wet shake test in rats. On a molar basis, beta-endorphin is 18 to 33 times more potent than morphine and its actions are blocked by the specific opiate antagonist, naloxone hydrochloride. The activity of beta-endorphin in vivo is also compared to other peptides that show opiate-like activity in assays in vitro.

    Abstract: The effects of beta-endorphin on the antinociceptive responses and abrupt withdrawal jumping in morphine-dependent mice were studied. Mice were rendered morphine dependent by implantation of a morphine pellet (75 mg base) for 3 days. The analgesic response to beta-endorphin decreased after morphine pellet implantation, as evidenced by an eight-fold increase in the median antinociceptive dose of morphine was found. In small doses (0.09-0.17 mug per mouse), beta-endorphin suppressed abrupt withdrawal jumping. Met-enkephalin, even in high doses (200 mug per mouse), did not suppress abrupt withdrawal jumping.

    Abstract: Three analogs of human beta-endorphin (beta h-EP) have been synthesized: [Gly31]beta h-EP, [Gly31] beta h-endorphinamide, and [Gly31]beta h-endorphinylglycine. All are more active than beta h-EP in both the guinea pig ileum bioassay and the opiate receptor binding assay. The last two analogs are about twice as active as beta h-EP in an assay for analgesia. Modification at position 31 and extension at the COOH terminus may afford a route toward analogs with even greater biological activity.

    Abstract: Hypophysectomized rats are supersensitive to the hypothermic effects of morphine and beta-endorphin injected intraventricularly as early as 1 week after surgery. At 2 weeks after surgery, there is a significant increase in the antinociceptive potency for these opiates. The route of opiate injection must be considered in interpretations of these results. The enhanced opiate potency following subcutaneous morphine injection in hypophysectomized rats may be partially explained by adrenal dysfunction, as demonstrated by a similar sensitization to subcutaneous morphine following adrenalectomy. By contrast, no enhancement of opiate potency was observed upon direct intraventricular injection of morphine or beta-endorphin in adrenalectomized rats. Furthermore, the potency of intravenous beta-endorphin is profoundly enhanced in adrenalectomized mice; five out of nine animals died when injected with a dose of the peptide that produced only mild analgesia in sham controls. The complete reversal of this intravenous beta-endorphin supersensitivity by dexamethasone implies a possible physiological interplay between the peptide and adrenal function.
