Popis: In this study we demonstrate allograft survival in a rat model of renal transplantation using the delta1-opioid receptor antagonist, 7-(benzospiroindanyl)naltrexone [corrected]. Treatment with 7-(benzospiroindanyl)naltrexone [corrected] caused 50% of the rats to survive longer than 100 days (untreated, 11 +/- 3 days). Naltrindole, a delta-opioid receptor antagonist without subtype selectivity, also promoted graft survival but was substantially less effective, suggesting that antagonism at delta1-opioid receptors is involved in allograft survival.
