A mouse monoclonal anti-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl IgE (clone Lb4) was screened with a random set of over 2000 compounds, and several ligands were found to bind with affinities comparable to that of the immunizing hapten (KD in the μM range). An automated docking algorithm was used for the prediction of complex structures formed by 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) and non-DNP ligands in the fragment variable region of IgE(Lb4). All ligands were found to dock in an L-shaped cavity of 15 × 16 × 10 Å, surrounded by complementary-determining regions L1, L3, H2 and H3. The ligands were found to occupy the same binding site in different orientations. For rigid ligands the most stable orientation could be predicted with high probability, based on the calculated energy of binding and the occurrence frequencies of identical complexes obtained by repeated simulations. The localization of a flexible ligand (cycrimine-R) was more ambiguous, but it still docked in the same site. The results support a model for heteroligating antibody (Ab) binding sites, where different ligands utilize the total set of available contacts in different combinations. It is suggested that although pseudoenergies calculated by the docking algorithm do not correlate with experimentally measured binding energies, the screening-and-docking procedure can be useful for the mapping of Ab and other receptor binding sites ligating small molecules. 相似文献

The general principles of recognition of nucleic acids by proteins are among the most exciting problems of molecular biology. Human lactoferrin (LF) is a remarkable protein possessing many independent biological functions, including interaction with DNA. In human milk, LF is a major DNase featuring two DNA‐binding sites with different affinities for DNA. The mechanism of DNA recognition by LF was studied here for the first time. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and fluorescence measurements were used to probe for interactions of the high‐affinity DNA‐binding site of LF with a series of model‐specific and nonspecific DNA ligands, and the structural determinants of DNA recognition by LF were characterized quantitatively. The minimal ligands for this binding site were orthophosphate (Ki = 5 mM), deoxyribose 5'‐phosphate (Ki = 3 mM), and different dNMPs (Ki = 0.56–1.6 mM). LF interacted additionally with 9–12 nucleotides or nucleotide pairs of single‐ and double‐stranded ribo‐ and deoxyribooligonucleotides of different lengths and sequences, mainly through weak additive contacts with internucleoside phosphate groups. Such nonspecific interactions of LF with noncognate single‐ and double‐stranded d(pN)10 provided ~6 to ~7.5 orders of magnitude of the enzyme affinity for any DNA. This corresponds to the Gibbs free energy of binding (ΔG0) of ?8.5 to ?10.0 kcal/mol. Formation of specific contacts between the LF and its cognate DNA results in an increase of the DNA affinity for the enzyme by approximately 1 order of magnitude (Kd = 10 nM; ΔG0 ≈ ?11.1 kcal/mol). A general function for the LF affinity for nonspecific d(pN)n of different sequences and lengths was obtained, giving the Kd values comparable with the experimentally measured ones. A thermodynamic model was constructed to describe the interactions of LF with DNA. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are considered as potential therapeutic agents against Alzheimer's disease. Using replica exchange molecular dynamics and atomistic implicit solvent model, we studied the mechanisms of binding of naproxen and ibuprofen to the Aβ fibril derived from solid‐state NMR measurements. The binding temperature of naproxen is found to be almost 40 K higher than of ibuprofen implicating higher binding affinity of naproxen. The key factor, which enhances naproxen binding, is strong interactions between ligands bound to the surface of the fibril. The naphthalene ring in naproxen appears to provide a dominant contribution to ligand‐ligand interactions. In contrast, ligand‐fibril interactions cannot explain differences in the binding affinities of naproxen and ibuprofen. The concave fibril edge with the groove is identified as the primary binding location for both ligands. We show that confinement of the ligands to the groove facilitates ligand‐ligand interactions that lowers the energy of the ligands bound to the concave edge compared with those bound to the convex edge. Our simulations appear to provide microscopic rationale for the differing binding affinities of naproxen and ibuprofen observed experimentally. Proteins 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The goal of Binding MOAD is to provide users with a data set focused on high-quality x-ray crystal structures that have been solved with biologically relevant ligands bound. Where available, experimental binding affinities (Ka, Kd, Ki, IC50) are provided from the primary literature of the crystal structure. The database has been updated regularly since 2005, and this most recent update has added nearly 7000 new structures (growth of 21%). MOAD currently contains 32,747 structures, composed of 9117 protein families and 16,044 unique ligands. The data are freely available on www.BindingMOAD.org. This paper outlines updates to the data in Binding MOAD as well as improvements made to both the website and its contents. The NGL viewer has been added to improve visualization of the ligands and protein structures. MarvinJS has been implemented, over the outdated MarvinView, to work with JChem for small molecule searching in the database. To add tools for predicting polypharmacology, we have added information about sequence, binding-site, and ligand similarity between entries in the database. A main premise behind polypharmacology is that similar binding sites will bind similar ligands. The large amount of protein–ligand information available in Binding MOAD allows us to compute pairwise ligand and binding-site similarities. Lists of similar ligands and similar binding sites have been added to allow users to identify potential polypharmacology pairs. To show the utility of the polypharmacology data, we detail a few examples from Binding MOAD of drug repurposing targets with their respective similarities. 相似文献

Predicting absolute protein–ligand binding affinities remains a frontier challenge in ligand discovery and design. This becomes more difficult when ionic interactions are involved because of the large opposing solvation and electrostatic attraction energies. In a blind test, we examined whether alchemical free-energy calculations could predict binding affinities of 14 charged and 5 neutral compounds previously untested as ligands for a cavity binding site in cytochrome c peroxidase. In this simplified site, polar and cationic ligands compete with solvent to interact with a buried aspartate. Predictions were tested by calorimetry, spectroscopy, and crystallography. Of the 15 compounds predicted to bind, 13 were experimentally confirmed, while 4 compounds were false negative predictions. Predictions had a root-mean-square error of 1.95 kcal/mol to the experimental affinities, and predicted poses had an average RMSD of 1.7 Å to the crystallographic poses. This test serves as a benchmark for these thermodynamically rigorous calculations at predicting binding affinities for charged compounds and gives insights into the existing sources of error, which are primarily electrostatic interactions inside proteins. Our experiments also provide a useful set of ionic binding affinities in a simplified system for testing new affinity prediction methods. 相似文献

M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that has been associated with alcohol and cocaine abuse, Alzheimer''s disease, and schizophrenia which makes it an interesting drug target. For many GPCRs, the high-affinity fluorescence ligands have expanded the options for high-throughput screening of drug candidates and serve as useful tools in fundamental receptor research. Here, we explored two TAMRA-labelled fluorescence ligands, UR-MK342 and UR-CG072, for development of assays for studying ligand-binding properties to M4 receptor. Using budded baculovirus particles as M4 receptor preparation and fluorescence anisotropy method, we measured the affinities and binding kinetics of both fluorescence ligands. Using the fluorescence ligands as reporter probes, the binding affinities of unlabelled ligands could be determined. Based on these results, we took a step towards a more natural system and developed a method using live CHO-K1-hM4R cells and automated fluorescence microscopy suitable for the routine determination of unlabelled ligand affinities. For quantitative image analysis, we developed random forest and deep learning-based pipelines for cell segmentation. The pipelines were integrated into the user-friendly open-source Aparecium software. Both image analysis methods were suitable for measuring fluorescence ligand saturation binding and kinetics as well as for screening binding affinities of unlabelled ligands. 相似文献

High-sensitivity, high-throughput, and user-friendly lanthanide-based assays for receptor-ligand interactions provide an attractive alternative to the traditional radioligand displacement assays. In this study, three small-molecule pindolol ligand derivatives were synthesized and their binding properties were tested in a radioligand displacement assay. The ligand derivatives were further labeled with fluorescent europium(III) chelate for β2-adrenergic receptor-ligand binding assay. The europium-labeled pindolol ligands having no spacer (C0) or a 12-carbon spacer (C12) arm bound to the human β2-adrenergic receptors overexpressed in human embryonic kidney HEK293i cells. Europium ligand with a 6-carbon spacer arm (C6) showed no binding. Competitive binding assays were developed with the functional labeled ligands. The IC50 values for β2-adrenergic antagonist propranolol were 60 and 37 nM, the Z′ values were 0.51 and 0.77, and the signal-to-background ratios were 5.5 and 16.0 for C0 and C12, respectively. This study shows that functional time-resolved fluorescent assays can be constructed using fluorescent lanthanide chelates conjugated to small-molecule ligands. 相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of super-high affinity endothelin receptors with apparent Kd's on the order of pM in different brain tissues. This study was designed to characterize, in detail, the receptors present in SCP cells, a non-transformed sheep choroid plexus cell line. Competitive binding assays with receptor-selective ligands indicated the presence of at least three classes of binding sites: a conventional receptor of the ETA subtype with a Kd = 0.4 nM that mediates an increase in intracellular levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in response to ET-1 and two additional sites with much higher binding affinities. The latter two sites are not coupled to the common signal transduction pathways of IP3, cAMP and cGMP. Northern blot analysis confirmed the presence of only the ETA subtype mRNA in SCP cells. It remains to determined if the multiple binding sites are distinct gene products, multiple affinity states of a single receptor molecule or a result of cooperative association of one site with either the ligand or with other proteins. 相似文献

Abstract: The present study examines the interaction of Na+ and K+ with the binding of the cocaine analogue 3β-(4-[125I]iodophenyl)tropane-2β-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester to dopamine transporters (DATs) in rat striatal synaptosomal membranes at 37°C. The binding increases with [Na+] from 10 to 100 mM and decreases with higher [Na+]. The presence of K+ reduces the maximal stimulatory effect of Na+ and causes a nonlinear EC50 shift for Na+. K+ strongly inhibits the binding at low [Na+]. Increasing [Na+] produces a linear IC50 shift for K+. Saturation analysis indicates a single binding site changing its affinity for the radioligand depending on [K+]/[Na+] ratio in the assay buffer. A reduced Bmax was observed in the presence of 10 mM Na+ and 30 mM K+. Both high [Na+] and high [K+] accelerate the dissociation of the binding, and K+-induced acceleration was abolished by increasing [Na+]. Least squares model fitting of equilibrium data and kinetic analysis of dissociation rates reveal competitive interactions between Na+ and K+ at two sites allosterically linked on the DAT: One site mediates the stimulatory effect of Na+, and the other site involves the radioligand binding and the inhibitory effect of cations on the binding. Various uptake blockers and substrates, dopamine in particular, display reduced potency in inhibiting the binding at a higher [K+]/[Na+] ratio. 相似文献

AbstractTwo complementary approaches, covalent labelling and solubilization, have been used to study the biochemical properties of the central 5-HT1A receptor binding site. We have first designed a photoaffinity ligand containing the structure of 8-OH-DPAT, a potent and specific agonist of 5-HT1A sites. Thus, 8-methoxy-2[N-n-propyl,N-3-(2-nitro-4-azido-phenyl)- aminopropyl]aminotetralin or 8-methoxy-3'-NAP-amino-PAT, was found to displace, in the dark, [3H]8-OH-DPAT from 5-HT1A sites in rat hippocampal membranes with an IC50 of 6.6 nM. Under two cumulative UV irradiations (366 nm, for 20 min at 4°C), 8-methoxy-3-'-NAP-amino-PAT (30 nM) blocked irreversibly 55-60% of 5-HT1A binding sites. This blockade was specific of 5-HT1A sites since the other serotoninergic sites, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2 and also the presynaptic 5-HT3 sites were not affected by the treatment. In addition, the binding of [3H]Spiperone and [3H]7-OH-DPAT to striatal dopamine sites remained unchanged under similar photolysis conditions. The tritiated derivative of the photoaffinity ligand (92 Ci/mmol) was then synthesized for the identification of the covalently bound protein(s). SDS-PAGE of solubilized membranes irradiated in the presence of 20 nM 3H-8-methoxy-3'-NAP-amino-PAT allowed the detection of a 63 kD protein whose labelling appeared specific. Thus, 3H-incorporation into the 63 kD band could be prevented by uM concentrations of 5-HT, 8-OH-DPAT and other selective 5-HT1A ligands such as isapirone. In contrast, the 5-HT2 antagonist ketanserin, norepinephrine and dopamine-related ligands (including 7-OH-DPAT) were ineffective. Direct solubilization of 5-HT1A receptor binding sites was also attempted from rat hippocampal membranes. The best results were obtained using CHAPS (10 mM) plus NaCl (0.2 M), which led to 50 % recovery of 5-HT1A sites in the 100,000 g supernatant. The pharmacological properties and sensitivity to N-ethyl-maleimide and GppNHp of soluble sites appeared near identical to those of membrane-bound 5-HT1A sites. 相似文献

AbstractThe screening of combinatorial libraries requires a deconvolution procedure to obtain, in fine, the most active compound of the starting library. the standard screening assays used in regular molecular pharmacology, have been poorly assessed when transposed to combinatorial chemistry-related experiments, particularly those involving large numbers of chemicals in a single assay. One key issue is the effect of the inactive analogs on the identification of the active ligand in mixtures. We chose melatonin receptors to measure the apparent affinity of a single ligand when tested alone or in mixtures of non-peptide low molecular weight compounds. Using ligands with IC50 from the micro- to the picomolar range, mixed with increasingly complex mixtures of 5 to 20 or 25 inactive compounds, we analyzed the displacements from the mt1 and MT2 melatonin receptor subtypes of the radioligand 2-iodomelatonin (Kd= 25pmol/l and 200pmol/l, respectively). the behavior of equimolar mixtures in displacement curves led to the conclusion that the observed binding affinity reflects the dilution effect of mixing the active component with inactive compounds but does not reveal noticeable interactions which would interfere with the binding process. From the practical point of view, the concentrations of the active species in the binding assay should be large enough to displace significantly the radioligand, a requirement which may be limited by the solubility of the ligand mixtures. in contrast, previous observations with peptide libraries report that the dilution effect is often compensated by additive or synergic action of structurally related analogs, thus making possible the deconvolution of very large (typically up to 107 compounds) peptide libraries. 相似文献

Benzothiazepines 1–3 inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) enzyme in a concentration-dependent fashion with IC50 values of 1.0 ± 0.002, 1.2 ± 0.005 and 1.3 ± 0.001 μM, respectively. By using linear-regression equations, Lineweaver-Burk, Dixon plots and their secondary replots were constructed which indicated that compounds 1–3 are non-competitive inhibitors of AChE with Ki values of 0.8 ± 0.04, 1.1 ± 0.002, and 1.5 ± 0.001 μM, respectively. Molecular docking studies revealed that all the compounds are completely buried inside the aromatic gorge of AChE, extending deep into the gorge of AChE. A comparison of the docking results of compounds 1–3 displayed that these compounds generally adopt the same binding mode in the active site of AChE. The superposition of the docked structures demonstrated that the non-flexible benzothiazepine always penetrate into the aromatic gorge through the six-membered ring A, which allowed the ligands to interact simultaneously with more than one subsites of the active center of AChE. The higher AChE inhibitory potential of compounds 1–3 was found to be the cumulative effect of hydrophobic contacts and π-π interactions between the ligands and AChE. The relatively high affinity of benzothiazepine 1 with AChE was found to be due to additional hydrogen bond in benzothiazepine 1-AChE complex. The results indicated that substitution of halogen and methyl groups by hydrogen at aromatic ring of the benzothiazepine decreased the affinity of these molecules towards enzyme that may be due to the polar non-polar repulsions of these moieties with the amino acid residues in the active site of AChE. The observed binding modes of benzothiazepines 1–3 in the active site of AChE explain the affinities of benzothiazepines and provide a rational basis for the structure-based drug design of benzothiazepines with improved pharmacological properties. 相似文献

Chemical shift perturbations (CSPs) in NMR spectra provide useful information about the interaction of a protein with its ligands. However, in a multiple‐ligand‐binding system, determining quantitative parameters such as a dissociation constant (Kd) is difficult. Here, we used a method we named CS‐PCA, a principal component analysis (PCA) of chemical shift (CS) data, to analyze the interaction between bovine β‐lactoglobulin (βLG) and 1‐anilinonaphthalene‐8‐sulfonate (ANS), which is a multiple‐ligand‐binding system. The CSP on the binding of ANS involved contributions from two distinct binding sites. PCA of the titration data successfully separated the CSP pattern into contributions from each site. Docking simulations based on the separated CSP patterns provided the structures of βLG–ANS complexes for each binding site. In addition, we determined the Kd values as 3.42 × 10−4M2 and 2.51 × 10−3M for Sites 1 and 2, respectively. In contrast, it was difficult to obtain reliable Kd values for respective sites from the isothermal titration calorimetry experiments. Two ANS molecules were found to bind at Site 1 simultaneously, suggesting that the binding occurs cooperatively with a partial unfolding of the βLG structure. On the other hand, the binding of ANS to Site 2 was a simple attachment without a significant conformational change. From the present results, CS‐PCA was confirmed to provide not only the positions and the Kd values of binding sites but also information about the binding mechanism. Thus, it is anticipated to be a general method to investigate protein–ligand interactions. Proteins 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Adenosine binding sites on 108CC15 neuroblastoma × glioma hybrid cells and rat brain membranes were investigated using [3H]adenosine as labelled ligand. Both the hybrid cells and brain membranes were found to have a high affinity binding site, Kd 0.8 and 3 nM respectively. The same ligand was used to demonstrate two lower affinity binding sites on brain membranes, Kds 1.4 and 29.1 μM and a single low affinity site on the hybrid cells, Kd 2.6 μM. Structure activity studies of the low affinity binding site on hybrid cells showed this to be an ‘R’ adenosine receptor of the A2 subtype. It is concluded that [3H]adenosine can be used to demonstrate both high and low affinity binding sites and that 108CC15 hybrid cells provide a valuable system for studying adenosine receptors. 相似文献

The binding of (±)-[3H]isoproterenol and (—)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol to intact turkey erythrocytes was studied using a rapid centrifugation technique. The binding of both ligands is rapid, dissociable, stereospecific and inhibited by (—)-propranolol. The total number of isoproterenol binding sites is 2800 sites/ cell. This consists of a low and high affinity site both of which show stereospecific binding. The high affinity isoproterenol site has a Kd of 15.5—19.5 nM and has 600 sites/cell. The low affinity isoproterenol site has a Kd of 195 nM and has 2200 sites/cell. The binding of (—)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol shows one type of site with a Kd of 7.8 nM and has 2500 sites/cell. The agonists epinephrine, norepinephrine, soterenol and p-hydroxyphenylisoproterenol which were tested by competition for binding showed a 6—25-fold greater affinity for the high affinity site determined by (±)-[3H]isoproterenol as compared to the (—)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol binding site. However, the antagonists propranolol, practolol and metrapolol showed similar affinities for the binding sites as determined by competition of binding of either labeled isoproterenol or dihydroalprenolol. These studies indicate that isoproterenol binding can recognize two independent stereospecific β-adrenergic receptors or can recognize two different conformational states of a single receptor. Provisional calculations are made on the turnover number of adenylate cyclase under physiological conditions using intact erythrocytes. The turnover number is 4000 molecules of cyclic AMP/10 min per high affinity receptor. 相似文献

The dopamine D2 Receptor (D2R) is a member of the G-Protein-Coupled Receptor family and plays a critical role in neurotransmission activities in the human brain. Dysfunction in dopamine receptor signaling may lead to mental health illnesses such as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. D2R is the target protein of the commonly used antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone, clozapine, aripiprazole, olanzapine, ziprasidone, and quetiapine. Due to their significant side effects and non-selective profiles, the discovery of novel drugs has become a challenge for researchers working in this field. Recently, our group has focused on the interactions of these drug molecules in the active site of the D2R using different in silico approaches. We here compare the performances of different approaches in estimating the drug binding affinities using quantum chemical approaches. Conformations of drug molecules (ligands) at the binding site of the D2R taken from the preliminary docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations were used to generate protein–ligand interaction models. In a first approach, the BSSE-corrected interaction energies of the ligands with the most critical amino acid Asp114 and with the other amino acids closest to ligands in the binding cavity were calculated separately by density functional theory method in implicit water environment at the M06-2X/6-31 g(d,p) level of the theory. In a second approach, ligand binding affinities were calculated by taking into consideration not only the interaction energies but also deformation and desolvation energies of ligands with surrounding amino acid residues, in a radius of 5 Å of the protein-bound ligand. The quantum mechanically obtained results were compared with the experimentally obtained binding affinity values. We concluded that although H-bond interactions of ligands with Asp114 are the most dominant interaction in the binding site, if van der Waals and steric interactions of ligands which have cumulative effect on the ligand binding are not included in the calculations, the interaction energies are overestimated. 相似文献

[125I]RTI-55 is a newly synthesized cocaine congener that may offer advantages over other ligands previously used to examine cocaine binding sites. However, the in vitro pharmacological and anatomical characterization of [125I]RTI-55 binding sites has not been previously performed in human brain. To determine the specificity, stability, and feasibility of [125I]RTI-55 for use in radioligand binding assays in postmortem human tissue, a series of experiments were performed characterizing [125I]RTI-55 binding sites in human brain using homogenized membrane preparations and quantitative autoradtography. Analysis of the association, dissociation, and saturation data favored two-phase processes. A curve-fitting analysis of the data derived in saturation experiments found a high-affinity site with KD= 66 ± 35 pM and Smax= 13.2 ± 10.1 pmol/g of tissue and a low-affinity site with KD= 1.52 ± 0.55 nM and Bmax of 47.5 ± 11-2 pmol/g of tissue. Competition by ligands known to bind to the dopamine transporter showed a rank order of RTI-55 > GBR-12909 > mazindol > WIN 35428 > = methylphenidate > (?)-cocaine > buproprion > (±)-amphetamine. Binding to serotonergic sites was evaluated in the midbrain. Results of the saturation experiment performed autoradiographically in the midbrain showed a single site with KD= 370 ± 84 pM. It appears that [125I]RTI-55 should be useful in further studies of the regulation of cocaine binding sites using postmortem human specimens. 相似文献

[3H]Spiroxatrine was examined as a potential ligand for the labeling of 5-HT1A sites in the rat hippocampus. Analysis of the binding of [3H]spiroxatrine in the absence and presence of varying concentrations of three monoamine neurotransmitters revealed that serotonin (5-HT) had high affinity (IC50= 20.7 nM for the [3H]spiroxatrine binding sites, consistent with the labeling of 5-HT1 sites, while dopamine and norepinephrine had very low affinity (IC50=57600 nM and >10−4 M respectively). Saturation studies of the binding of [3H]spiroxatrine revealed a single population of sites with a Kd=2.21 nM. Further pharmacologic characterization with the 5-HT1A ligands 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin, ipsapirone, and WB4101 and the butyrophenone compounds spiperone and haloperidol gave results that were consistent with [3H]spiroxatrine labeling 5-HT1A sites. This ligand produced stable, reproducible binding with a good ratio of specific to nonspecific binding. The binding of [3H]spiroxatrine was sensitive to GTP, suggesting that this ligand may act as an agonist. This was supported by the finding that spiroxatrine inhibits forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity (a proposed 5-HT1A receptor model) in the rat hippocampus. Since [3H]spiroxatrine is structurally distinct from other currently available radioligands for the 5-HT1A site, it should provide new information about the properties of this putative serotonergic receptor. 相似文献

AbstractBinding of [3H]spiperone was studied in membranes obtained from bovine neurohypophyses devoid of intermediate lobe tissue. Non-linear Scatchard plot suggested the presence of more than a single class of binding sites. Competition experiments using ketanserin, a ligand selective for 5-HT2 receptors, were carried out to ascertain whether serotonergic, in addition to dopaminergic receptors, might be responsible for the heterogeneity of [3H]spiperone binding. Computer-assisted modeling suggested the presence of two classes of binding sites for ketanserin (Ka = 1.6 ± 0.2 and 366.7 ± 20.5 nM, respectively). The Ka value for ketanserin binding to the high-affinity sites, as well as the Ka of [3H]spiperone for these sites suggested by the 2 sites model indicate that they represent serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. The [3H]spiperone Ka at the ketanserin low-affinity sites (65 ± 7 pM) and the rank order of inhibitory potencies for several antagonists show that the lowaffinity sites represent dopamine D-2 receptors. 相似文献

AbstractThe pharmacological characteristics of muscarinic receptor (mAChR) subtypes in canine left ventricular membranes (LVM) were determined using [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) and [3H] N-methyl scopolamine ([3H]NMS) as ligands. Binding of [3H]QNB and [3H]NMS was saturable with respect to the radioligand concentrations. Analysis of binding isotherms by Scatchard plot showed that [3H]QNB and [3H] NMS bound to an apparently homogeneous population of mAChRs in LVM, with KD values of 390 ± 100 and 285 ± 34 pM and Bmax values of 240 ± 20 and 133 ± 9 fmol/mg protein, (n=6), respectively. The Hill coefficients for [3H]QNB and [3H]NMS binding were 0.95 ± 0.02 and 0.99 ± 0.01, respectively. Based on the competitive inhibition of [3H] ligand binding, atropine and NMS as well as the selective M1 antagonist PZ revealed no selectivity for these mAChRs. PZ competed with [3H]QNB or [3H]NMS for a single binding site with a Ki value of 0.23 ± 0.03 μM and 0.62 ± 0.10 μM, (n = 6), respectively, which is close to the values of M2 or M3 receptors. The data indicate that the M1 receptor subtype did not exist in canine LVM. Competition of [3H] ligand binding with selective M2 antagonists, AF-DX 116 and methoctramine and the selective M3 antagonists, 4-DAMP and hexahydrosiladifenidol, gave a best fit for a two-binding site model. The inhibition of carbachol-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis by PZ, AF-DX 116 and 4-DAMP, generated an affinity profile for this response also dissimilar to that described for the classical cardiac M2 response. Although no other muscarinic receptor mRNA has been detected in this tissue, these data suggest the presence of a second population of muscarinic sites, which may signify an M2 receptor diversity. 相似文献
