title: Regulation of agonist and antagonist binding to striatal D-1 dopamine receptors: studies using the selective D-1 antagonist [3H]SK&F R-83566.
abstract: The potent and D-1 versus D-2 selective dopamine receptor antagonist, SK&F R-83566, was radiolabelled with tritium and was used as a radioligand for examination of D-1 receptors in rat striatum. Binding of the radioligand was stereoselective, saturable and reversible. In homogenates of rat striatum, nonspecific binding of the radioligand was less than 5% of total binding, the KD was 1.1 +/- 0.2 nM and the Bmax was 1130 +/- 70 fmoles/mg protein. Results of competition binding analyses yielded a pharmacological profile that was characteristic of dopamine D-1 receptor interaction. Competition studies of dopamine agonists against the potent antagonist radioligand indicated multiple affinities of agonist binding to the D-1 receptor. Displacement was best fit to a two-site model of ligand binding and high and low affinities were subject to regulation by guanine, but not adenine, nucleotides. Antagonist binding was not complex and was unaffected by guanine nucleotides. The role of monovalent cations in regulating D-1 receptor binding was evaluated by comparing effects of Na+, Li+, and K+ on binding of the antagonist [3H]SK&F R-83566 and the agonist [3H]fenoldopam (SK&F 82526). Whereas agonist binding was reduced in a concentration dependent fashion by monovalent cations with a ranking of potency Li+ greater than Na+ greater than K+, antagonist binding was enhanced by the cation Na+ but little affected by Li+ or K+. This effect of relatively low concentrations of Na+ to decrease agonist binding and increase antagonist binding suggests similarities between the D-1 receptor which is positively-coupled to adenylate cyclase and other receptors, e.g. alpha 2 adrenergic receptors, which are negatively-coupled to adenylate cyclase.
