Leu-Enkephalin acetate

CAS: 81678-16-2

Leu-Enkephalin is an endogenous opioid peptide that has been shown to produce analgesia, anti-inflammatory effects, and changes in locomotor activity. Leu-enkephalin binds to the kappa opioid receptor, which is found in high concentrations in the caudate putamen and hippocampal formation. The enkephalins are a family of basic proteins with two amino acids linked by a single amide bond. They are peptide hormones that act as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Leu-enkephalin is a drug candidate for treatment of infectious diseases such as HIV and malaria. In addition, leu-enkephalin has been shown to have side effect profiles that are less severe than morphine or methadone.
