1. Response to the opioids of isolated small intestine of Suncus murinus, an insectivore, was examined and compared with that of guinea-pig ileum. 2. The mechanical response to morphine and U50,488H, preferential mu- and kappa-agonist respectively, was relaxation which was antagonized by tetrodotoxin and naloxone in the Suncus small intestine. 3. Methionine5-enkephalin and D-alanine2, D-leucine5-enkephalin, both preferential delta-agonists, elicited contraction or relaxation in the Suncus small intestine, while enkephalins elicited sustained contraction in the tetrodotoxin-pretreated intestine. 4. In the guinea-pig ileum, the response to morphine and enkephalins was consistently relaxation which was antagonized by tetrodotoxin and naloxone. 5. Morphine, D-alanine2,D-leucine5-enkephalin and U50,488H inhibited electrically-evoked twitch responses of intestine in a concentration-dependent manner in both animals. 6. The relative potencies calculated from IC50 values of opioids for twitches followed the order, D-alanine2,D-leucine5-enkephalin greater than U50,488H greater than morphine in the Suncus small intestine, whereas U50,488 greater than D-alanine2,D-leucine5-enkephalin greater than morphine in the guinea-pig ileum. 7. Suncus small intestine has unique features such that D-alanine2,D-leucine5-enkephalin was most potent in inhibiting electrically-evoked twitches and that enkephalins induced contraction following tetrodotoxin pretreatment.
