We have used the antagonist radioligand 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-[3H]dipropylxanthine to label adenosine recognition sites in porcine atrial membranes. 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-[3H]dipropylxanthine bound saturably, reversibly and with high affinity to an apparently homogeneous population of recognition sites with a Bmax of 32.0 +/- 0.9 fmol/mg protein and a KD of 0.394 +/- 0.049 nM. Prototypic adenosine receptor agonists inhibited the specific binding of 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-[3H]dipropylxanthine in a manner consistent with the labeling of an A1 adenosine receptor. 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-[3H]dipropylxanthine appears to be a valuable antagonist radioligand for the characterization of cardiac adenosine receptors.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008024	Ligands	A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed)	Ligand
D009206	Myocardium	The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D011983	Receptors, Purinergic	Cell surface proteins that bind PURINES with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The best characterized classes of purinergic receptors in mammals are the P1 receptors, which prefer ADENOSINE, and the P2 receptors, which prefer ATP or ADP.

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.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
