Handling Instructions Technical Support

Norbinaltorphimine dihydrochloride (nor-Binaltorphimine dihydrochloride; nor-BNI dihydrochloride) is a selective, long-acting competitive antagonist of the κ-opioid receptor. Norbinaltorphimine dihydrochloride blocks κ-opioid receptor-mediated analgesic effects, and inhibits butorphanol-induced changes in κ-opioid receptor binding kinetics, desensitization and down-regulation. Norbinaltorphimine dihydrochloride suppresses specific opioid withdrawal symptoms, precipitates withdrawal behaviors in butorphanol-dependent rats, and serves as a molecular probe for studying κ-opioid receptor-agonist interactions. Norbinaltorphimine dihydrochloride is applicable to research related to neurological disorders such as pain.

κ Opioid Receptor/KOR

 

In Vitro

Norbinaltorphimine (0.01 nM-0.1 μM; 120 min) dihydrochloride displaces the binding of [3H]U-69,593 to κ-opioid receptors in rat cortical cell membranes. Its Ki value is 4.8 nM in saline-infused rats, while its potency increases 12-fold (Ki = 0.4 nM) in butorphanol-infused rats, indicating that κ-opioid receptors are hypersensitive to this antagonist[2].
Norbinaltorphimine (20-200 nM; 30 min) dihydrochloride potently antagonizes κ-selective agonists in the longitudinal muscle of guinea pig ileum, while it exhibits extremely weak antagonistic effects on the μ-selective agonist morphine, with a κ/μ selectivity ratio of 19.2[3].
Norbinaltorphimine (20 nM; 30 min) dihydrochloride potently antagonizes κ-selective agonists in rabbit vas deferens preparations[3].

In Vivo

Norbinaltorphimine (30 μg; intracerebroventricular injection; single administration / twice daily; consecutive 10 days) dihydrochloride acts as a selective, long-acting κ-opioid receptor antagonist in rats[1].
Norbinaltorphimine (12-100 nM/5 μl; intracerebroventricular injection; administered twice, at 3 hours before and 48 hours after the initiation of butorphanol infusion) dihydrochloride blocks most naloxone-precipitated withdrawal symptoms in butorphanol-dependent rats, exerts a significant blocking effect on diarrhea, alleviates forepaw tremor, and prevents butorphanol-induced desensitization of κ-opioid receptors in the cortex and striatum, as well as receptor downregulation in the cortex[2].

Exhibited magnitude of DAMGO and DPDPE antagonism on day 1 post-last repeated dose equivalent to that of selective μ-antagonist CTOP and δ-antagonist ICI 174,864, respectively.
Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley (7- to 8-week-old male, 250-300 g, butorphanol dependence model via intracerebroventricular osmotic minipump infusion of butorphanol tartrate at 26 nmol/h for 3 days)[2]
Dosage: 12 nM/5 μl per rat; 24 nM/5 μl per rat; 48 nM/5 μl per rat; 100 nM/5 μl per rat
Administration: i.c.v.; 2 doses (3 h before and 48 h after butorphanol infusion start)
Result: Completely blocked naloxone-precipitated withdrawal signs of escape behavior, teeth-chattering, wet shakes, ptosis, body weight loss (>3%), and reversed hypothermia to increased rectal temperatures.
Significantly blocked diarrhea at 12 nM dose.
Significantly blocked diarrhea and attenuated forepaw tremors at 24 nM dose.
Had no effect on withdrawal signs of yawning, ejaculation, or urination.
Prevented butorphanol-induced increases in [3H]U-69,593 K_D values in the cortex (4.33 nM, 96% of saline control) and striatum (5.49 nM, 105% of saline control) at 12 nmol dose.
Prevented butorphanol-induced decreases in [3H]U-69,593 B_max values in the cortex (59.46 fM/mg protein, 97% of saline control) at 12 nmol dose.
Prevented butorphanol-induced supersensitivity of cortical κ-opioid receptors to Norbinaltorphimine itself, blocking the significant reduction in K_i values seen with butorphanol alone.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.40 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
