ANA-12, a BDNF receptor (tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB)) antagonist, and nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), a selective κ-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist, were purchased from Sigma Chemical (St. Louis, MO). ANA-12 and nor-BNI were dissolved in 0.9% saline. ANA-12 (100 nmol) or nor-BNI (5 nmol) administered to animals by intrathecal route once (5 µl) and testing done in 30–60 min. The selected drug doses and timing of administration were in accordance with prior publications.28 (link)–30 (link, link)

Solid-Phase Synthesis of EM-1 and EM-2 Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EM-1 and EM-2 were prepared by manual solid-phase synthesis using standard N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry as reported in our previous study [32 (link)]. Fmoc-protected amino acids (GL Biochem Ltd., China) were coupled with Rink amide 4-methybenzhydrylamine (MBHA) resin (Tianjin Nankai Hecheng Science & Technology Co., Ltd., China). The crude peptides were purified by preparative reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) and determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-Q-TOF maXis-4G, Bruker Daltonics).
Naloxone, β-FNA, nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), and naltrindole (NTI) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. The selective p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 was purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology and dissolved in 1% DMSO in saline. All other drugs were dissolved in sterilized saline and stored at − 20 °C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
