Title: In vitro and in vivo binding of (E)- and (Z)-N-(iodoallyl)spiperone to dopamine D sub 2 and serotonin 5-HT sub 2 neuroreceptors

Journal Article · · Life Sciences; (USA)

Apparent affinities (K{sub i}) of (E)- and (Z)-N-(iodoallyl)spiperone ((E)- and (Z)- NIASP) for dopamine D{sub 2} and serotonin 5-HT{sub 2} receptors were determined in competition binding assays. (Z)-NIASP (K{sub i} 0.35 nM, D{sub 2}; K{sub i} 1.75 nM, 5-HT{sub 2}) proved slightly more potent and selective for D{sub 2} sites in vitro than (E)-NIASP (K{sub i} 0.72 nM, D{sub 2}; K{sub i} 1.14 nM, 5-HT{sub 2}). In vivo, radioiodinated (E)- and (Z)-({sup 125}I)-NIASP showed regional distributions in mouse brain which are consonant with prolonged binding to dopamine D{sub 2} receptors accompanied by a minor serotonergic component of shorter duration. Stereoselective, dose-dependent blockade of (E)-({sup 125}I)-NIASP uptake was found for drugs binding to dopamine D{sub 2} sites, while drugs selective for serotonin 5-HT{sub 2}, {alpha}{sub 1}-adrenergic and dopamine D{sub 1} receptors did not inhibit radioligand binding 2 hr postinjection. Specific binding in striatal tissue was essentially irreversible over the time course of the study, and (E)-({sup 125}I)-NIASP gave a striatal to cerebellar tissue radioactivity concentration of 16.9 to 1 at 6 hr postinjection. Thus, (E)-({sup 125}I)-NIASP binds with high selectivity and specificity to dopamine D{sub 2} sites in vivo.
