Abstract
The tritiated antagonist SCH23390 was used to identify dopamine D1 receptors in the cerebral cortex and neostriatum. The kinetic properties of binding were investigated in parallel experiments with membrane preparations from both tissues. The densities of receptors (Bmax) and the dissociation constants (KD) were determined from saturation curves, and the specificity of binding verified in competition experiments using agonists and antagonists. The cortical D1 receptor displays the same pharmacological selectivity (including stereospecificity) and kinetic properties as the neostriatal D1 receptor. From both the dissociation kinetics by dilution and the competition curves, it could be established that there is an heterogeneity of binding, probably due to high- and low-affinity states. Endogenous dopamine, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and 3-methoxytyramine contents, as well as D1 receptor distribution, were measured for the neostriatum and four localized cortical areas: anterior cingulate, primary somatosensory, primary visual, and piriform-entorhinal. For the regions examined, the distribution of D1 receptors is heterogeneous, but correlates very well (r > 0.98) with the endogenous levels of dopamine and its major metabolites.Keywords
