Abstract
Two potent and highly selective nonpeptide antagonists, L-365,031 [1- methyl-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)amino-5-phenyl-3H-1,4 benzodiazepin-2-one] and 3H-L-364,718 [1-methyl-3-(2-indoloyl)amino-5-phenyl-3H-1,4 benzodiazepin-2-one] were used to localize “peripheral” CCK receptors in rat brain. In autoradiographic experiments, L-365,031 displaced 125I- Bolton Hunter CCK-8 binding from the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) (IC50 = 7 X 10(-8) M), the area postrema (AP), and the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) without influencing specific binding to other areas, such as the cerebral cortex or the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve. Desulfated CCK preferentially inhibited 125I-CCK binding to cerebral cortex (IC50 = 7 X 10(-8) M) rather than IPN (IC50 greater than 1 X 10(-6) M) or AP-NTS. In the medulla the localization of 3H-L- 364,718 binding was similar to L-365,031-sensitive 125I-CCK-8 binding and was found in the AP and medial, but not lateral, aspects of the NTS. In membranes prepared from IPN, NTS, and AP, 3H-364,718 binding was of high affinity (Kd = 0.14 nM), saturable (Bmax = 20 fmol/mg protein), and inhibited by compounds previously shown to act at pancreatic CCK receptors. The receptors labeled by 3H-364,718 were modulated by guanyl nucleotide, which reduced agonist affinity 10-fold without affecting antagonist binding. The localization and high density of CCK receptors in AP and NTS suggest that these receptors may play an important role in processing sensory afferent information.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
