Neuropeptide FF (NPFF), an octapeptide belonging to the RF-amide family of peptides, is a NPFF1 and NPFF2 receptors agonist with Ki values of 2.82 nM and 0.21 nM, respectively. Neuropeptide FF induces abstinence syndrome, exerts antiopioid and analgesic effects, releases via calcium-dependent mechanisms from rat spinal cord, regulates memory, autonomic function, and neuroendocrine function, modulates pain and opioid antinociception, reduces food intake, stimulates water intake, alters cardiovascular parameters, and shows differential activity in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons. Neuropeptide FF is present in mammalian central nervous system and periphery, with NPFF-immunoreactivity increases in rat cerebrospinal fluid during opiate tolerance, and its NPFF gene and NPFF-R2 gene are up-regulated in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia during peripheral inflammation. Neuropeptide FF can be used for the research of opioid tolerance, morphine-induced analgesia, abstinence syndrome, pain, hypertension, nociception, inflammatory pain, and neuropathic pain[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
