title: The binding interactions of Ro 40-5967 at the L-type Ca2+ channel in cardiac tissue.
abstract: Ro 40-5967 [(1S,2S)-2-[2[3-(2-benzamidopropyl]- methylamino]ethyl]-6-fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-isopropyl-2-naphthyl- methoxyacetate] is a new Ca2+ channel antagonist active at L-type channels. Radioligand binding studies in cardiac tissue show that Ro 40-5967 does not inhibit 1,4-dihydropyridine binding, but does inhibit diltiazem, desmethoxyverapamil and SR 33557 binding with IC50 values of 8 x 10(-9), 10(-8) and 5 x 10(-8) M, respectively. Equilibrium and kinetic binding studies showed that Ro 40-5967 inhibited both desmethoxyverapamil and SR 33557 binding in an apparently competitive manner. Ro 40-5967 defines an additional and possibly unique antagonist binding site on the L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel.
