[3H] 2-Amino-6,7-dihydroxy 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronapthalene (ADTN): a potential specific dopamine receptor ligand. 1978

Y Clement-Cormier, and M Abel

The characteristics of [3H] 2-amino-6,7-dihydroxy 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronapthalene (ADTN) binding to calf striatal membranes were investigated. [3H]ADTN was observed to bind with high affinity and stereospecificity to a preparation of crude synaptic membranes. A number of dopamine agonists and antagonists were studied for their ability to displace bound [3H]ADTN. Dopamine agonists were found to be more potent inhibitors of ADTN binding than were dopamine antagonists. Kinetic analysis indicates that [3H]ADTN binds to dopamine recognition sites in a manner comparable to dopamine itself. Overall, the data suggest that ADTN may be a useful ligand for the characterization of agonist requirements for recognition by dopamine binding sites.

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

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.
