A derivative of the potent D/sub 1/ antagonist SCH-23390 has been synthesized. This compound, (R,S)-1-(m-aminophenyl)-7-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (SCH-38548), has been radioiodinated by a chloramine T procedure yielding 3 radioiodinated products. One of these separated isomers (R/sub f/ = 0.35; CH/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/:MEOH:TEA; 82.5:17.5:0.1 on TLC) binds reversibly to rat striatal membranes with high affinity (K/sub D/ approx. 80 pM) appropriate stereoselectivity and D/sub 1/-dopaminergic specificity. (/sup 125/I)SCH-38548 can be covalently incorporated into a peptide of M/sub r/ approx. 72,000 using the heterobifunctional crosslinking reagent N-succinimidyl-6-(4'-azido-2'-nitro-phenylamino) hexanoate. Covalent incorporation of (/sup 125/I) SCH-38548 into the M/sub r/ approx. 72,000 peptide can be blocked by dopaminergic agents with D/sub 1/-dopaminergic specificity (for agonists: SKF 38393 > apomorphine > dopamine; for antagonists: SCH-23390 > cis-flupentixol >>> trans-flupentixol). The D/sub 1/-dopaminergic selectivity and specificity of the labeling was further demonstrated by the fact that other antagonists such as domperidone, ketanserin, phentolamine and alprenolol did not compete for the covalent labeling of the M/sub r/ approx. 72,000 peptide. This new radioligand should be useful in the molecular characterization of the D/sub 1/-dopaminergic receptor from various sources.
