Application

5′-Guanidinonaltrindole di(trifluoroacetate) salt hydrate (GNTI) has been used as a selective κ opioid receptor antagonist:
  • to study the influence of opioid receptor types on the anti-hyperalgesic effect of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors in inflammation
  • to study the role of κ opioid receptor in the forebrain-dependent associative task, Whisker-Trace Eyeblink conditioning (WTEB)
  • to validate its inhibitory actions on Akt kinase activities

Biochem/physiol Actions

5′-Guanidinonaltrindole di(trifluoroacetate) (GNTI) is a 5‘-guanidine derivative and a selective κ opiate receptor antagonist. It is five-fold more potent and 500-fold more selective than norbinaltorphimine (nor-BNI) for the κ opioid receptor in smooth muscle preparations.

Previous work from our laboratory has shown that nonspecific kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonism in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can inhibit acquisition for the forebrain-dependent associative task, Whisker-Trace Eyeblink conditioning (WTEB). Although studies have demonstrated that KOR activation can alter

5'-Guanidinonaltrindole (GNTI) possesses 5-fold greater opioid antagonist potency (K(e)=0.04 nM) and an order of magnitude greater selectivity (selectivity ratios >500) than the prototypical kappa-opioid receptor antagonist, norbinaltorphimine, in smooth muscle preparations. Binding and functional studies conducted on cloned human opioid
