An2-M6G [Preclinical]
Obtained from the Model Organism Data
Click To Hide/Show 5 Activity Data Related to This Level
Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Severe pain
Efficacy Data Maximal antinociceptive effect
34.90%
Administration Time Intravenous administration 60 min
Administration Dosage 4 mg/kg
Evaluation Method Rat tail-flick test assay
MOA of PDC
Given the high analgesic potency of M6G, without induction of the M3G metabolite that antagonizes the analgesic effect of morphine, M6G could be a promising drug to treat moderate to severe pain. The major issue of systemic use of M6G is its poor BBB permeability. In this study, we proposed to increase the BBB penetration of M6G and morphine by conjugation to the shuttle angiopep-2 peptide (An2). Morphine and M6G were first conjugated to An2, a 19-mer peptide that crosses the BBB by low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) receptor-mediated transcytosis.

Description
Indeed, at an equimolar dose of 3 mg/kg of morphine (i.e., 12 mg/kg), An2-M6G produced a latency to tail withdrawal reaching the cutoff (i.e., 10 seconds) after 30 minutes, an effect lasting at least 3 hours. The %MPE calculated at 60 minutes after the intravenous injection of An2-M6G at 4, 8, and 12 mg/kg (equivalent to 1, 2, and 3 mg/kg of morphine and to 1.5, 3, and 4.5 mg/kg of M6G) was 34.9%, 66.2%, and 100%, respectively.

Description
We also measured the analgesic effect of An2-morphine and An2-M6G after subcutaneous injections. Despite similar MPE at the peak effect, subcutaneous injection of 20 mg/kg An2-morphine (equivalent to 5.5 mg/kg of morphine) produced an analgesic effect that was more prolonged over the time than what was observed with an equimolar dose of morphine.

Description
Similar results were also obtained in the hot-plate test using male CD1 mice. Over a 2-hour period, both morphine and An2-morphine caused similar increases in hot-plate latencies. Likewise, mice receiving An2-M6G (6 mg/kg i.v.) also exhibited a sustained and superior analgesic effect compared with equimolar doses of either morphine or M6G.
