| Abstract: | A sigma-opioid receptor ligand, N-allylnormetazocine (SKF 10047), binds specifically and reversibly to rat liver membranes. The rat liver binding sites for SKF 10047 are similar to sigma-opioid CNS receptors. They fail to interact with classical opiates (morphine, naloxone) and opioid peptides but bind with high affinity benzomorphans (bremazocine, SKF 10047) and various psychotropic drugs (haloperidol, imipramine, phencyclidine etc). |
