title: The use of [3H](-)-DO 710 as selective dopaminergic ligand for binding and autoradiographic studies.
abstract: DO 710, a benzamide derivative previously shown to display a dopamine antagonistic potency superior to that of sulpiride, was 3H-labeled. Its use as radioligand was assessed in membrane binding and autoradiographic studies. The compound displayed relatively high affinity (Kd 2 nM) and pronounced selectivity for dopamine receptors (distinct from D-1 receptors) as well as low non-specific binding particularly evidenced in autoradiographic experiments. Hence [3H](-)-DO 710 displays distinct technical advantages over commonly used dopaminergic radioligands.
