Two high affinity phencyclidine (PCP) binding sites, labelled by [3H] 1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine ([3H]TCP), have been identified in guinea pig brain, with one site coupled to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (site 1) and the other site associated with the dopamine reuptake carrier complex (site 2). In this study, PCP enhanced the dissociation of [3H]TCP from PCP site 1 and site 2, while (+)-MK801 only enhanced dissociation of [3H]TCP from PCP site 1. Although additional studies will be required to determine the exact mechanism(s) of these effects, these data demonstrate that the interactions of PCP with both site 1 and site 2 are more complex than previously appreciated.

Two highly selective radiolabeled probes for sigma receptors were found to bind with high affinity and capacity to membranes from undifferentiated PC12 cells. [3H]1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine [( 3H]DTG) bound with Kd = 23.7 +/- 4.6 nM and Bmax = 2025 +/- 660 fmol/mg protein. The Kd and Bmax for [3H](+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine ([3H](+)-3-PPP) were 86.3 +/- 21.6 nM and 1539 +/- 242 fmol/mg protein, respectively. These binding parameters were comparable to those observed in guinea pig brain, although the Kd for [3H](+)-3-PPP was 3-fold higher in the PC12 membranes. Both the PC12 and guinea pig brain sites exhibited high affinity for haloperidol, moderate affinity for phencyclidine (PCP), and negligible affinity for MK-801, apomorphine, and (-)-sulpiride. These data suggest a relationship of the PC12 site to sigma receptors. However, all (+)-opiates [+)-benzomorphans and (+)-morphinans) tested bound with markedly lower affinity to the PC12 site compared to guinea pig brain. These include (+)-N-allylnormetazocine [+)-SKF 10,047), (+)-pentazocine, and dextrallorphan. In fact, PC12 sites exhibited preference for (-)-benzomorphans, the reverse stereoselectivity of guinea pig brain sites. Binding of [3H]N-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine [( 3H]TCP) could not be detected, demonstrating absence of PCP receptors on this cell line. Differentiation of cells by treatment with nerve growth factor had no effect on sigma binding parameters. Membranes from guinea pig brain and PC12 cells were photoaffinity-labeled using [3H]azido-di-o-tolylguanidine. In guinea pig brain, a polypeptide of 25 kDa was specifically labeled. However, label was incorporated into polypeptides of 18 kDa and 21 kDa in membranes from PC12 cells. In view of the otherwise similar binding characteristics, the marked differences in affinity for (+)-benzomorphans and molecular weight suggest that PC12 cells contain a molecular form of sigma receptor distinct from that predominant in guinea pig brain. This raises the possibility of multiple sigma receptor types.

Phencyclidine (PCP) binds with high affinity to the ion channel associated with the NMDA receptor. The binding of the PCP receptor-specific ligand TCP is greatly reduced at temperatures between 2 degrees C and 6 degrees C, at which the plasma membrane is in a rigid state. However, membrane rigidity alone does not appear to cause the reduced TCP binding, since the membrane fluidizing agent A2C did not increase TCP binding at 4 degrees C; instead, it decreased binding at 21 degrees C. This inhibitory effect of A2C on TCP binding was dose dependent and was highly correlated with A2C-induced increases in membrane fluidity. The IC50 of A2C inhibition was 8.9 mM, with a pseudo-Hill coefficient of -0.24. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that this effect was the result of an increase in the apparent KD of [3H]TCP for the PCP receptor, with no effect on the Bmax. These results suggest that the function of the NMDA-PCP receptor complex is impaired by increases in membrane fluidity. These findings may be pharmacologically relevant in understanding the mechanism of action of such agents as general anesthetics and ethanol, which cause increases in plasma membrane fluidity.

Rats were chronically infused with phencyclidine (PCP, 13.3 mg PCP.HCl/kg/day) or saline, s.c., for 10 days using osmotic minipumps (n = 5 for each group). Twenty-four hours after the cessation of dosing, the rats were sacrificed, and brains were removed for analysis of PCP receptor binding. Saturation studies of the binding of [3H]-TCP to brain homogenates revealed statistically significant increases in the maximum binding capacity (Bmax) and decreases in the affinity for [3H]-TCP in the PCP-treated group.

1. CI-977 is a new, nonpeptide kappa-opioid compound that has been synthesized and its pharmacological properties determined in a series of in vitro and in vivo rodent models. 2. In a radioligand binding studies, with guinea-pig forebrain homogenates, CI-977 bound with high affinity to [3H]-U69593-labelled kappa-sites (Ki = 0.11 nM) but with low affinity to [3H]-[D-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly-ol5] enkephalin (DAMGO) labelled mu-sites (Ki = 99 nM) and [3H]-[D-Pen2.5]enkephalin (DPDPE) labelled delta-sites (Ki = 1.04 microM). CI-977 also bound with negligible affinity to [3H]-(+)-3-(1-propyl-3-piperi-dinyl)phenol (3-PPP) labelled sigma-sites (Ki = 1.9 microM) and [3H]-1-(1-[2-thienyl]cyclohexyl)piperidine (TCP) labelled PCP sites (Ki greater than 10 microM). 3. CI-977 produced a potent inhibition of the electrically-evoked contractions of the guinea-pig ileum and rabbit vas deferens with IC50 values of 0.087 nM and 3.3 nM, respectively. The pKB values for the opioid antagonists naloxone (7.6) and norbinaltorphimine (10.5) supported the kappa nature of the CI-977-mediated effects in the smooth muscle assays. 4. CI-977 was a potent antinociceptive agent against a mechanical noxious stimulus in rats following intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and oral administration. CI-977 was also effective against mechanical and chemical noxious stimuli in the mouse but ineffective against a thermal stimulus. The antinociceptive effects produced by CI-977 were completely reversed by naloxone (1 mg kg-1, s.c.). 5. At doses close to those required to produce antinociception, CI-977 also caused a naloxone-reversible diuresis and inhibition of locomotor activity.6. The in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profile of CI-977 demonstrates that it is a potent and selective agonist at the Kappa-opioid receptor.

The present investigation attempted to differentiate haloperidol-sensitive sigma sites (sigma H) from phencyclidine (PCP) binding sites in rat brain membranes. We studied the effects of several cations at physiologically relevant concentrations on the binding of radioligands selective for sigma H sites ([3H]haloperidol, [3H](+)3-PPP**), and [3H](+)SKF10,047), or for PCP sites ([3H]PCP and [3H]TCP). The PCP sites displayed a markedly greater sensitivity to cations than sigma H sites. This property was reflected by a greater extent of inhibition of the binding of PCP-selective relative to sigma H-selective ligands at a given cation concentration, as well as by lower IC50's and by steeper slopes of the cation dose-response curves. Divalent cations were approximately 100 times more potent than monovalent cations. All cations were inhibitory, except Sr2+ and Ba2+ which, at micromolar concentrations, enhanced PCP binding but not sigma H binding. Thus, PCP-selective sites appeared to be distinct from sigma H sites with regards to several aspects of cation modulation. This is consistent with the view that PCP and sigma H sites are distinct molecular entities. Further, the marked cation sensitivity of the PCP site is consistent with the current hypothesis according to which the PCP site is linked to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-cation channel complex.

Extracellular single unit recording techniques were used to evaluate the effects of two phencyclidine (PCP) derivatives. N-[1-(2-benzo(b)thiophenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine (BTCP) and N-[1-(2-thiophenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine (TCP) on the electrophysiological activity of antidromically identified nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) neurons in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats. I.v. BTCP produced a dose-dependent decrease in the firing rate of identified nigrostriatal DA neurons whereas TCP elicited a dose-dependent biphasic effect which was characterized by an activation of cell firing at low doses followed by a reversal of the response with larger doses. A hemitransection of the brain anterior to the substantia nigra significantly reduced the inhibitory effect of BTCP while this surgical procedure did not affect the response to TCP. However, iontophoretic application of BTCP induced a current-dependent inhibition of the spontaneous activity of cells while local application of TCP had no effect on the firing rate of these cells. These data indicate that PCP analogs are able to interact with the nigrostriatal DAergic pathway through distinct and opposing mechanisms. The results are discussed in light of recent observations that BTCP is selective for the DA uptake site while TCP is selective for the high affinity PCP binding site.

Two populations of phencyclidine (PCP) binding sites are shown to exist in the rat brain: a high-affinity monovalent ion-sensitive site (Kd of 10-14 nM for [3H]TCP, [3H]N-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine), which exists in both the frontal cortex and the hippocampus, and a lower affinity site (Kd of 80-130 nM for [3H]TCP) which is found in the hippocampus but not in the frontal cortex. The nature of the interactions between the ion-binding sites and the high affinity PCP receptors depend on both ligand structure (PCP or TCP) and the ion involved (K' or Na'). The high-affinity sites are associated with an Mr 90,000 polypeptide whose labeling by [3H]azido phencyclidine is selectively inhibited by monovalent ions.

In functional studies, phenycyclidine (PCP) and similar drugs non-competitively antagonize neuronal responses to the excitatory amino acid, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Here we show that, in crude postsynaptic densities from rat brain, the binding of [3H]TCP (a PCP analogue) was enhanced almost 4-fold by L-glutamate and NMDA, but not by quisqualate, kainate or gamma-aminobutyric acid. The potencies of excitatory amino acid agonists and antagonists in the [3H]TCP binding assay closely paralleled their affinities for NMDA-sensitive L-[3H]glutamate binding sites. In contrast, dissociative anaesthetics and sigma-opiates inhibited [3H]TCP binding (with a profile characteristic of PCP binding sites), but had no effect on L-[3H]glutamate binding. These data indicate that PCP binding sites are linked to NMDA receptors, and that PCP and related drugs bind preferentially to the activated configuration of the NMDA receptor channel complex.

Receptor binding studies were carried out to test whether the rat brain phencyclidine (PCP) receptor is part of a K+ channel. [3H]PCP, and two analogs, [3H]TCP and m-amino[3H]PCP, labeled a single receptor on rat brain synaptic membranes. Each compound bound to a similar number of sites (Bmax = 2.7 pmol bound/mg protein); the apparent dissociation constants for these compounds (KD less than 0.3 microM) decreased with increasing temperature. The following observations indicate that the PCP receptor is part of a K+ channel: (1) aminopyridines (AP) and tetraalkylammonium ions blocked [3H]PCP binding; their respective orders of potency, 4-AP = 3,4-diAP much greater than 3-AP, and tetrabutylammonium (TBA) greater than tetraethylammonium much greater than tetramethylammonium, paralleled their abilities to block K+ channels, (2) the order of potency of PCP and its analogs for binding to the PCP receptor, TCP greater than PCE greater than m-amino-PCP greater than PCP greater than PCPY greater than m-nitro-PCP, paralleled their rank order for blocking brain K+ channels, and (3) the stereospecific displacement of [3H]PCP binding by the isomers of the "sigma" ligands, (+)N-allyl-normetazocine (NANM) greater than (-)NANM, and (-)cyclazocine greater than (+)cyclazocine, and of the dioxolanes, dexoxadrol much greater than levoxadrol, paralleled their abilities to block brain K+ channels. Reciprocal plot and Schild plot analyses indicated that TBA, (+)NANM and dexoxadrol were competitive inhibitors at the PCP receptor, whereas 4-AP had an allosteric interaction.
