title: Biochemical and pharmacological characterization of cannabinoid binding sites using [3H]SR141716A.
abstract: This study describes the binding characteristics of cannabinoid binding sites expressed in rat cerebellar membranes using the tritiated derivative of SR141716A, the newly described cannabinoid receptor antagonist. A single population of high-affinity binding sites (K(D) = 0.59 +/- 0.08 nM; Bmax = 3.86 +/- 0.42 pmol mg-1 of protein) was demonstrated. Kinetic, competition and saturation experiments give similar results in terms of SR141716A affinity. delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol and the 11-hydroxy derivative competitively inhibited the specific binding of [3H]SR141716A (Ki = 47 +/- 9 and 32 +/- 4 nM, respectively). The cannabinoid agonist WIN55212-2 has a 25-fold lower affinity for [3H]SR141716A than for [3H]WIN55212-2, showing that the two ligands do not recognize the cannabinoid binding site in the same fashion.
