title: Effect of compound GB-115 on morphine-induced analgesia.
abstract: Experiments on outbred mice showed that compound GB-115, a retropeptide analogue of the tetrapeptide cholecystokinin, produced a naloxone-dependent potentiating effect on morphine-induced analgesia in the hot-plate test, but did not modulate animal behavior in the tail-flick test in outbred mice. This potentiation of antinociceptive activity of morphine was probably related to the interaction of GB-115 with supraspinal opioidergic mechanisms.
