Differentiation of [3H]phencyclidine and (+)-[3H]SKF-10,047 binding sites in rat cerebral cortex. 1985

M E Goldman, and A E Jacobson, and K C Rice, and S M Paul

The potency of a series of opioid and non-opioid psychotomimetic drugs to inhibit the specific binding of [3H]PCP and (+)-[3H]SKF-10,047 to rat cerebral cortical membranes was examined. (+)-PCMP, the 3-methylpiperidino analog of PCP, was a potent inhibitor of the specific binding of both ligands. All of the other 12 compounds examined, however, displayed a 3-277-fold selectivity for either [3H]PCP or (+)-[3H]SKF-10,047 binding. These results suggest that although these opioid and non-opioid psychotomimetics bind to both sites, most have significantly different affinities. The binding sites for [3H]PCP appear to be distinct from the 'sigma' binding sites labeled with (+)-[3H]SKF-10,047.

D008297	Male		Males
D010620	Phenazocine	An opioid analgesic with actions and uses similar to MORPHINE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1095)	Phenbenzorphan,Phenethylazocine,Narphen,Phenazocine Hydrobromide,Hydrobromide, Phenazocine
D010622	Phencyclidine	A hallucinogen formerly used as a veterinary anesthetic, and briefly as a general anesthetic for humans. Phencyclidine is similar to KETAMINE in structure and in many of its effects. Like ketamine, it can produce a dissociative state. It exerts its pharmacological action through inhibition of NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE). As a drug of abuse, it is known as PCP and Angel Dust.	1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine,Angel Dust,CL-395,GP-121,Phencyclidine Hydrobromide,Phencyclidine Hydrochloride,Sernyl,Serylan,CL 395,CL395,Dust, Angel,GP 121,GP121

D002540	Cerebral Cortex	The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001667	Binding, Competitive	The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements.	Competitive Binding
D013237	Stereoisomerism	The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships.

D017478	Receptors, Phencyclidine	Specific sites or molecular structures on cell membranes or in cells with which phencyclidine reacts or to which it binds to elicit the specific response of the cell to phencyclidine. Studies have demonstrated the presence of multiple receptor sites for PCP. These are the PCP/sigma site, which binds both PCP and psychotomimetic opiates but not certain antipsychotics, and the PCP site, which selectively binds PCP analogs.
