Hello solars-ga
My searches on Google, Medline and Scirus.com have shown that the term
endorphinase is very rarely used, and the term endorphinase
inhibitor even less so. In comparison, the term enkephalinase
inhibitor appears to be relatively common. I have therefore focused
on inhibitors of enkephalinase. I did also search more-generally on
endopeptidase inhibitors, but this broadened out the area of
compound activity too far to be useful.
Here is a list of enkephalinase inhibitors, with a link in each case
to a relevant study in the medical literature:
