Adrenorphin, also sometimes referred to as metorpham​ide, is an endogenous, C-terminally amidated, opioid octapeptide (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-Arg-Arg-Val-NH2) that is produced from proteolyic cleavage of proenkephalin A and is widely distributed throughout the mammalian brain.[1][2][3][4][5] It was named based on the fact that it was originally detected in human phaeochromocytoma tumour derived from the adrenal medulla, and was subsequently found in normal human and bovine adrenal medulla as well.[1] Adrenorphin exhibits potent opioid activity, acting as a balanced μ- and κ-opioid receptor agonist, while having no effects on δ-opioid receptors.[2] It has analgesic and respiratory depressant effects.[6]
