Vasopressin receptor binding studies have been carried out with radiolabeled agonists. They have labeled SK and F 101926 (desGlyd(CH2)5D-Tyr(Et)VAVP), a potent antagonist of vascular (V1) and renal (V2) vasopressin receptors, with (/sup 3/H)-Phe (37 Ci/mmol). They studied V1 receptors of cultured smooth muscle cells of rat aorta (A-10) and liver, and V2 receptors of pig kidney. (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 binding to plasma membranes of A-10 cells was specific (non-specific binding with 10 ..mu..M AVP), saturable, and of high affinity. At 0.4nM, the specific binding was 50%. A linear Scatchard plot indicated one antagonist affinity (KD = 0.4nM; Bmax = 100-150 fmol/10/sup 6/ cells). In contrast, the Scatchard plot of (/sup 3/H)-AVP binding was curvilinear. Specific (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 binding was inhibited by AVP and vasopressin antagonists d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP > d(CH2)5DTyr(Et)VAVP > d(CH2)5Tyr(Et)VAVP > d(CH2)5D-IleVAVP. The rank orders of the antagonists for vasopressin receptors of rat liver and A-10 cells determined with (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 and (/sup 3/H)-AVP were the same. GppNHp did not affect (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 binding. In competition experiments with cell and liver membranes, GppNHp decreased the affinity of AVP but not of the antagonist d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP. (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 also appeared to bind specifically to crude membranes of pig kidney medulla. In conclusion, the antagonist (/sup 3/H)-SK and F 101926 binds specifically and with high affinity to vasopressin receptors and is, thus, a powerful new tool to study vasopressin receptors.
