Purification of histamine receptor. (IV) Specificity of binding of various drugs to the histamine receptor-rich fraction and to solubilized binding sites.
Studies were made on tritiated histamine binding to the receptor-rich membrane fraction and solubilized sites and its displacement by various drugs. H1-Agonists and antagonists displaced histamine most effectively. A H2-agonist and atropine were less effective and propranolol, phentolamine and imidazole acetic acid had little effect. The solubilized binding sites showed the same specificity of binding as the membrane fraction. Membrane fragments had two binding constants, whereas solubilized sites had only one. Solubilized sites bound similar amounts of histamine and dibenamine: the latter was applied to intact tissue under conditions which would presumably cause specific binding to histamine receptors. These binding characteristics show that the method used was adequate for purification of histamine receptors from smooth muscle of cat small intestine.
