thiorphan and Leukemia

thiorphan has been researched along with Leukemia in 2 studies

Thiorphan: A potent inhibitor of membrane metalloendopeptidase (ENKEPHALINASE). Thiorphan potentiates morphine-induced ANALGESIA and attenuates naloxone-precipitated withdrawal symptoms.

Leukemia: A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (From The Merck Manual, 2006)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"NALM-1 cells (a cell line derived from human pre-B leukemia) were exposed to the opioid pentapeptide methionine-enkephalin (Met-enkephalin) and/or to thiorphan, an inhibitor of the enzyme that degrades the enkephalins (membrane endopeptidase EC 3."3.72Methionine enkephalin suppresses metabolic activity of a leukemic cell line (NALM-1) and enhances CD10 expression.
