  • Title: Receptor specificity of the antiarrhythmic effect produced by opioid peptides Dalargin and DADLE during myocardial reperfusion.
    Author: Naryzhnaya NV, Maslov LN, Lishmanov YB, Gross GJ.
    Journal: Bull Exp Biol Med; 2002 Apr; 133(4):336-8. PubMed ID: 12124638.
    Abstract:
    Nonselective agonists of mu- and delta-opioid receptors dalargin (D-Ala2,Leu5,Arg6-enkephalin) and DADLE (D-Ala2,D-Leu5-enkephalin) administered immediately before coronary reperfusion in a dose of 0.1 mg/kg prevented the development of ventricular arrhythmias. Blockade of mu-opioid receptors abolished the antiarrhythmic effect of these peptides. Hence, antiarrhythmic activity of dalargin and DADLE is primarily associated with activation of mu-opioid receptors.
