Figure 15-59The structure of morphine

Why do some of our cells have receptors for a drug that comes from poppy seeds? Pharmacologists long suspected that morphine may mimic some endogenous signaling molecule that regulates pain perception and mood. In 1975 two pentapeptides with morphinelike activity, called enkephalins, were isolated from pig brain, and soon thereafter larger polypeptides with similar activity, called endorphins, were isolated from the pituitary gland and other tissues. All of these so-called endogenous opiates contain a common sequence of four amino acids and bind to the same cell-surface receptors as morphine (and related narcotics). Unlike morphine, however, they are rapidly degraded after release and so do not accumulate in quantities large enough to induce the tolerance seen in morphine addicts.

Mass spectrometry. Principles for a single quadrupole are shown in A. A quadrupole ion trap mass spectrogram of characteristic ion fragments from leu-enkephalin is shown in B. A reconstructed ion chromatogram, which is obtained by monitoring unique ion fragments over time, is shown for met- (first peak) and leu-enkephalin (second peak) in C. Dialysate was collected from the striatum of an anesthetized rat. Abbreviations: Rf, radio frequency; X, Y and Z, hypothetical analytes and their respective ionized state (X⁺, Y⁺ and Z⁺).
