title: A common binding site for tricyclic and nontricyclic 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake inhibitors at the substrate recognition site of the neuronal sodium-dependent 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter.
abstract: An investigation of the site of interaction of a variety of tricyclic and nontricyclic 5-HT uptake inhibitors with the neuronal sodium-dependent 5-HT transporter was undertaken. The dissociation of [3H]paroxetine binding induced by indalpine (10 microM), SL 81.0385 (10 microM), fluoxetine (10 microM), citalopram (10 microM), paroxetine (0.15 microM), imipramine (10 microM) and 5-HT (50 microM) produced monophasic dissociation curves and gave t1/2 values of dissociation similar to that induced by dilution alone. In inhibition studies of [3H]paroxetine binding with citalopram, imipramine and 5-HT, increases in the concentration of [3H]radioligand used led to parallel rightward shifts of the inhibition curves with no diminution of the maximum degree of inhibition (Imax). "Schild-type" analyses of the data obtained from the inhibition curves with these 3 compounds gave slopes close to unity. In chemical modification studies, treatment of membrane fractions with N-ethylmaleimide led to a pronounded reduction in specific [3H]paroxetine binding. Preincubation of these membranes with SL 81.0385, fluoxetine, imipramine, tryptamine and 5-HT provided significant protection against this NEM-induced inactivation. The above findings are interpreted to provide evidence for a common or at least overlapping binding site for the tricyclic and nontricyclic 5-HT uptake inhibitors with the substrate recognition site of the neuronal sodium-dependent 5-HT transporter.
