title: Binding of tritiated and radioiodinated ZM241,385 to brain A2A adenosine receptors.
abstract: Autoradiography on rat brain using tritiated (1*), mono- (2*) and di-radioiodinated (3*) derivatives of the A(2A) adenosine receptor antagonist ZM241,385 showed high receptor density in striatum. K(D)s of 1*, 2* and 3* were 0.4, 2.2 and 15 nM and nonspecific binding was 5, 40 and 50% of total binding. Striatal uptake of 2* in mice was approximately 0.2% ID/g 60 min post-injection; blocking by 2 was insignificant. Poor penetration of the blood brain barrier and high nonspecific binding make 2* unsuitable for imaging striatal receptors.
