Cebranopadol exhibits highly potent and efficacious antinociceptive and antihypersensitive effects in several rat models of acute and chronic pain (tail-flick, rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer, spinal nerve ligation, diabetic neuropathy) with ED50 values of 0.5-5.6 μg/kg after intravenous and 25.1 μg/kg after oral administration. In comparison with selective MOP receptor agonists, cebranopadol is more potent in models of chronic neuropathic than acute nociceptive pain. Cebranopadol’s duration of action is long (up to 7 hours after intravenous 12 μg/kg; >9 hours after oral 55 μg/kg in the rat tail-flick test). The antihypersensitive activity of cebranopadol in the spinal nerve ligation model is partially reversed by pretreatment with the selective NOP receptor antagonist J-113397 or the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone, indicating that both NOP and opioid receptor agonism are involved in this activity. Development of analgesic tolerance in the chronic constriction injury model is clearly delayed compared with that from an equianalgesic dose of morphine (complete tolerance on day 26 versus day 11, respectively). Unlike morphine, cebranopadol did not disrupt motor coordination and respiration at doses within and exceeding the analgesic dose range. Cebranopadol, by its combination of agonism at NOP and opioid receptors, affords highly potent and efficacious analgesia in various pain models with a favorable side effect profile[1].
In Vitro
Cebranopadol binds with high affinity (subnanomolar to nanomolar range) to nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) and opioid receptors, with Ki of 1±0.5 nM, 2.4±1.2 nM, and 64±11 nM for rat NOP, mu-opioid peptide (MOP) receptor, and kappa-opioid peptide (KOP) receptor, and with Ki of 0.9±0.2 nM, 0.7±0.3 nM, and 2.6±1.4 nM for Rat NOP, MOP, and KOP receptor[1].
