Product Data
Biological target:
DADLE is a peptide agonist of δ-opioid receptors (Ki = 2.06 nM in a radioligand binding assay) that is selective for δ-opioid over κopioid receptors (Ki = 16,000 nM) but also agonizes μ-opioid receptors (Ki = 13.8 nM).
In vitro activity:
This study showed that DOR stimulation with DADLE (0.1 μmol/L) for 2 d selectively activates the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway in NaN3-treated neurons; this activation increased Bcl-2 expression, attenuated Cyto c release and promoted neuronal survival. Further investigation revealed that sustained DADLE stimulation increased Bcl-2 expression by enhancing NF-κB binding to the Bcl-2 promoter and upregulating the histone acetylation levels of the Bcl-2 promoter. The results demonstrate that prolonged DADLE exposure epigenetically promotes Bcl-2 expression and elicits neuroprotective effects in the NaN3 model via the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway.

In vivo activity:
DADLE postconditioning protection of hippocampal CA1 neurons against transient forebrain ischemia was tested. 6 days after being implanted with cannula at the right lateral ventricle, rats underwent 10 min of forebrain ischemia by four vessel occlusion. The results showed that DADLE at doses of 0.25 and 2.5 nmol, but not 25 nmol, could significantly protect CA1 neurons against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Furthermore, DADLE postconditioning exhibited cognitive benefits in rats with transient forebrain ischemia. The study thus suggested a therapeutic opportunity of postconditioning neuroprotection by DADLE and also provided important information in understanding the mechanism of DADLE action in the ischemic brain.
