Biphalin, the Glossary

Index Biphalin

Biphalin is a dimeric enkephalin endogenous peptide (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH)2 composed of two tetrapeptides derived from enkephalins, connected 'tail-to-tail' by a hydrazide bridge.[1]

Alkaloid

Alkaloids are a class of basic, naturally occurring organic compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom.

See Biphalin and Alkaloid

Analgesic

An analgesic drug, also called simply an analgesic, antalgic, pain reliever, or painkiller, is any member of the group of drugs used for pain management. Biphalin and analgesic are opioids.

See Biphalin and Analgesic

Behavioral addiction

Behavioral addiction, process addiction, or non-substance-related disorder is a form of addiction that involves a compulsion to engage in a rewarding non-substance-related behavior – sometimes called a natural reward – despite any negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social or financial well-being.

See Biphalin and Behavioral addiction

Dimerization (chemistry)

In chemistry, dimerization is the process of joining two identical or similar molecular entities by bonds. Biphalin and dimerization (chemistry) are dimers (chemistry).

See Biphalin and Dimerization (chemistry)

Enkephalin

An enkephalin is a pentapeptide involved in regulating nociception (pain sensation) in the body.

See Biphalin and Enkephalin

Etorphine

Etorphine (M99) is a semi-synthetic opioid possessing an analgesic potency approximately 1,000–3,000 times that of morphine.

See Biphalin and Etorphine

Hydrazide

Hydrazides in organic chemistry are a class of organic compounds with the formula where R is acyl, sulfonyl, phosphoryl, phosphonyl and similar groups (chalcogen analogs are included, for example sulfur analogs called thiohydrazides), (subscription required) and R' are any groups (typically hydrogen or organyl).

See Biphalin and Hydrazide

Δ-opioid receptor

The δ-opioid receptor, also known as delta opioid receptor or simply delta receptor, abbreviated DOR or DOP, is an inhibitory 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor coupled to the G protein Gi/G0 and has enkephalins as its endogenous ligands.

See Biphalin and Δ-opioid receptor

Lipophilicity

Lipophilicity (from Greek λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly") is the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.

See Biphalin and Lipophilicity

Molecular binding

Molecular binding is an attractive interaction between two molecules that results in a stable association in which the molecules are in close proximity to each other.

See Biphalin and Molecular binding

Morphine

Morphine, formerly also called morphia, is an opiate that is found naturally in opium, a dark brown resin produced by drying the latex of opium poppies (Papaver somniferum).

See Biphalin and Morphine

Nociception

In physiology, nociception (/ˌnəʊsɪˈsɛpʃ(ə)n/), also nocioception) is the sensory nervous system's process of encoding noxious stimuli. It deals with a series of events and processes required for an organism to receive a painful stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal to trigger an appropriate defensive response.

See Biphalin and Nociception

Peritoneum

The peritoneum is the serous membrane forming the lining of the abdominal cavity or coelom in amniotes and some invertebrates, such as annelids.

See Biphalin and Peritoneum

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) is an essential α-amino acid with the formula.

See Biphalin and Phenylalanine

Structure–activity relationship

The structure–activity relationship (SAR) is the relationship between the chemical structure of a molecule and its biological activity.

See Biphalin and Structure–activity relationship

Tyrosine

-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.

See Biphalin and Tyrosine
