Binding of a thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptor antagonist to washed human platelets.
A binding site for the thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 (TXA2/PGH2) antagonist [125I]9,11-dimethylmethano-11, 12-methano-16-(3-iodo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-13,14-dihydro-13-aza-15 alpha beta-omega-tetranor-TXA2 to washed human platelets was studied. 9,11-Dimethylmethano-11, 12-methano-16-(3-iodo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-13,14-dihydro-13-aza-15 alpha beta-omega-tetranor-TXA2 competitively antagonized aggregation of washed human platelets induced by the TXA2/PGH2 mimetic U46619. A Schild analysis of the pharmacologic study revealed a pA2 of 8.08 and a slope of -1.12. The pA2 value yielded a Kd of 8 nM. The association rate constant (k1) for [125I]PTA-OH was 6.6 X 10(6)M-1 min-1 and the dissociation rate constant (k-1) was 1.82 X 10(-1), yielding a kinetically determined Kd (k-1/k1) of 27 nM. Scatchard analysis of [125I]PTA-OH binding to washed human platelets revealed one class of binding sites with a Kd of 21 +/- 5 nM and maximum binding of 42 +/- 6.4 fmol/10(7) platelets (N = 5) (2530 +/- 380 binding sites/platelet). Several TXA2/PGH2 receptor agonists and antagonists competed with [125I]PTA-OH for binding. For the four antagonists used in this study, the rank order of potency for displacing the ligand from its binding site correlated (r = 0.93) with the rank order of potency for their ability to inhibit U46619-induced aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma. The antiaggregatory prostaglandins prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostaglandin D2, and Iloprost also displaced the ligand, but only at concentrations considerably higher than that required to produce their pharmacologic effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
