Dynorphin B, also known as rimorphin,{{cite book|author=Paul V. Malven | title = Mammalian Neuroendocrinology | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=nZoRPQa_qTkC&pg=PA70 | access-date = 22 April 2012 | date = 12 January 1993 | publisher = CRC Press | isbn = 978-0-8493-8757-9 | page = 70}} is a form of dynorphin and an endogenous opioid peptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-Arg-Arg-Gln-Phe-Lys-Val-Val-Thr. Dynorphin B is generated as a proteolytic cleavage product of leumorphin, which in turn is a cleavage product of preproenkephalin B (prodynorphin).{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}}
Dynorphin B has an identical N-terminal sequence, but different C-terminal sequence to dynorphin A. In an alanine scan of the non-glycine residues of dynorphin B, it was discovered that Tyr1 and Phe4 residues are critical for both opioid receptor affinity and κ-opioid receptor agonist potency, Arg6 and Arg7 promote κ-opioid affinity and Lys10 contributes to the opioid receptor affinity.{{Cite journal|last1=Joshi|first1=Anand A.|last2=Murray|first2=Thomas F.|last3=Aldrich|first3=Jane V.|date=September 2017|title=Alanine scan of the opioid peptide dynorphin B amide|url= |journal=Biopolymers|language=en|volume=108|issue=5|pages=e23026|doi=10.1002/bip.23026|pmid=28464209|pmc=6003702}}
Inducers of dynorphin B
Cannabinoid CP55,940 and △9-tetrahydrocannabinol (△9-THC) can induce the release of dynorphin B, which in return acts as an agonist of κ-opioid receptors, resulting in the production of antinociception.{{Cite journal|last1=Houser|first1=Susan J|last2=Eads|first2=Micah|last3=Embrey|first3=James P|last4=Welch|first4=Sandra P|date=February 2000|title=Dynorphin B and spinal analgesia: induction of antinociception by the cannabinoids CP55,940, Δ9-THC and anandamide1Published on the World Wide Web on 18 January 2000.1|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0006899300019818|journal=Brain Research|language=en|volume=857|issue=1–2|pages=337–342|doi=10.1016/S0006-8993(00)01981-8|pmid=10700588|s2cid=8616013|url-access=subscription}} Similarly, Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Sar (TAPS) is capable of promoting a release of dynorphin B through the simulation of μ1-opioid receptors, causing a production of antinociception.{{Cite journal|last1=Mizoguchi|first1=Hirokazu|last2=Ito|first2=Kanenori|last3=Watanabe|first3=Hiroyuki|last4=Watanabe|first4=Chizuko|last5=Katsuyama|first5=Sou|last6=Fujimura|first6=Tsutomu|last7=Sakurada|first7=Tsukasa|last8=Sakurada|first8=Shinobu|date=November 2006|title=Contribution of spinal μ1-opioid receptors and dynorphin B to the antinociception induced by Tyr-d-Arg-Phe-Sar|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0196978106003172|journal=Peptides|language=en|volume=27|issue=11|pages=2786–2793|doi=10.1016/j.peptides.2006.07.006|pmid=16919848|s2cid=1770295|url-access=subscription}} The antinociceptive effect produced by dynorphin B allows for spinal analgesia.
