title: The first radiolabeled histamine H3 receptor antagonist, [125I]iodophenpropit: saturable and reversible binding to rat cortex membranes.
abstract: We describe the binding to rat cortex membranes of [125I]iodophenpropit, the first radiolabeled histamine H3 antagonist. The binding of [125I]iodophenpropit is selective, saturable, readily reversible, and of high affinity (KD 0.32 nM; Bmax 209 fmol/mg of protein). Specific binding at a concentration of 0.3 nM accounted for 45-55% of the total binding. [125I]Iodophenpropit seems to fulfill the criteria for a suitable ligand for histamine H3 receptor binding studies.
