Melanocyte-stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor (MSH-R-IF) is a hypothalamic tripeptide that binds to rat striatum (Kd = 4.69 nM) and has diverse biological activities.{38774,38775,38776,38777} In vivo, MSH-R-IF (0.1 mg/kg) decreases immobility of mice in the forced swim test, indicating antidepressant-like activity.{38775} MSH-R-IF (20 mg/kg) increases striatal concentration of dopamine (Item No. 21992) and the dopamine metabolites DOPAC, 3-methoxy tyramine (3-MT; Item No. 20511), and homovanillic acid (HVA) in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease induced by MPTP.{38776} It decreases vacuous chewing movements induced by haloperidol (Item No. 12014) in a rat model of tardive dyskinesia when administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg.{38777} MSH-R-IF also has anti-opiate effects, reversing analgesia induced by morphine (Item No. ISO60147) and an enkephalin in mice in a radiant heat tail-flick assay.{38774}
