title: Identification and properties of phencyclidine-binding sites in nervous tissues.
abstract: [3H]Phencyclidine (PCP) binds to a single class of noninteracting binding sites in rat brain membranes with an affinity Kd of 0.25 microM and a maximal binding capacity BM of 2.4 pmol/mg of membrane protein. PCP derivatives also interact with the muscarinic and mu-opiate receptors in rat brain membranes with affinities that are one or two orders of magnitude lower than those observed for the [3H]PCP-binding sites. Activities of 25 PCP derivatives in the rotarod assay are closely correlated to affinities of these molecules for the [3H]PCP-binding sites, but not for the muscarinic or mu-opiate receptors. Monohydroxylation of PCP generally decreases the affinity of PCP for the [3H]PCP- and muscarinic-binding sites and does not change the affinity for the mu-opiate receptor. The metaphenolic derivative of PCP does not follow these general rules; the affinities of this derivative for the [3H]PCP- and mu-opiate-binding sites are 8 and 430 times higher, respectively, than those of PCP itself. Voltage-clamp experiments with N1E 115 neuroblastoma cells show that PCP is an efficient blocker of both the K+ channel (EC50 = 2.6 microM) and the Na+ channel (EC50 = 9.2 microM).
