title: Interaction of non-steroidal antiestrogens with dopamine receptor binding.
abstract: The ability of various estrogen antagonists and agonists to compete with [3H]spiroperidol, [3H]domperidone, [3H]dihydroalprenolol, [3H]dihydroergocryptine, [3H]dopamine or [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine for binding to membrane preparations from rat brain tissue was tested. The non-steroidal triphenylethylene-type antiestrogens with an amine side chain--enclomiphene, nitromifene, tamoxifen and zuclomiphene--were found to be competitive inhibitors of [3H]spiroperidol (Kd = 0.12 nM; Bmax = 101 fmol/mg protein) and [3H]domperidone (Kd = 0.62 nM; Bmax = 86 fmol/mg protein) binding to striatal membranes. The Ki values ranged from 4-12 microM. Estradiol-17 beta (Ki = 480 microM) or diethylstilbestrol (Ki = 63 microM) were much less effective inhibitors exhibiting noncompetitive interaction with the in vitro binding of [3H]spiroperidol. The pharmacological relevance of the antiestrogen interactions with dopamine receptor binding is discussed with respect to adverse effects of the in vivo administered compounds such as nausea and vomiting.
