Title: Differential effect of detergents on (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 and (/sup 3/H)PK 11195 binding to peripheral-type benzodiazepine-binding sites

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

The present study demonstrates a differential effect of various detergent treatments on (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 and (/sup 3/H)PK 11195 binding to peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites (PBS). Triton X-100 caused a decrease of about 70% in (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 binding to membranes from various peripheral tissues of rat, but had only a negligible effect on (/sup 3/H)PK 11195 binding. A similar effect of Triton X-100 was observed on guinea pig and rabbit kidney membranes. The decrease in (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 binding after treatment with Triton X-100 was apparently due to a decrease in the density of PBS, since the affinity remained unaltered. The detergents 3-((3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio)-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS), Tween 20, deoxycholic acid, or digitonin (0.0125%) caused only a minor change in (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 and (/sup 3/H)PK 11195 binding to rat kidney membranes; but when concentrations were substantially increased (0.1%), all detergents caused a decrease of at least 50% in (/sup 3/H)Ro 5-4864 binding, while (/sup 3/H)PK 11195 binding to rat kidney membranes remained unaffected by the first three detergents, with only a minor decrease (15%) after treatment with digitonin.
