Nociceptinerg system is the recently recognized member of the opioids with widespread pharmacological activity both in the central nervous system and the periphery. The interrelation of nociceptinerg and the classical biogenic amine-neurotransmission (noradrenergic, dopaminergic, serotonergic, histaminergic) as well as cholinergic is poorly understood, however its better understanding would be needed for design of drugs with new mode of action. The main focus of our in vitro and in vivo studies is the better understanding of the functional role of nociceptin and nocistatin (the two neuropeptides derived from preproorphaninFQ) in the central nervous system, and in such clinical items as primary headaches (migraine,cluster headache) chronic hepatic disorders, cardiovascular disorders.
