Radioiodinated 2'-iodospiperone: a new radioligand for in vivo dopamine receptor study

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)
In vivo dopamine receptor binding of the newly synthesized ligand, /sup 125/I-2'-iodospiperone (/sup 125/I-2'-ISP), was studied in mouse brain. The highest accumulation was found in the striatum. Analysis of the striatal homogenate showed the /sup 125/I-2'-ISP to be metabolically stable. Furthermore, this striatal binding was saturable and displaced only by dopaminergic drugs. On the other hand, the accumulation in the cortex was as low as that of the cerebellum and unaffected by the administration of serotoninergic drugs and dopaminergic drugs; results assessed by macroautoradiographic studies. Thus, the newly synthesized /sup 125/I-2'-ISP presented high affinity for dopamine receptors in vivo and therefore; holds great potential for the in vivo dopamine receptor studies, provided /sup 123/I becomes readily available. 17 references, 4 figures, 1 table.
