    Abstract:
    Binding of the hypoglycemic sulfonylurea, [3H]glyburide, to crude membrane fractions from brain, heart and smooth (intestinal) muscle was saturable, linear with protein concentration and reversible. Saturation analysis revealed high affinity sites (KH values, 7 x 10(-11) M, 5 x 10(-11) M and 6 x 10(-11) M), with Bmax-H values 209, 36 and 23 fmol/mg protein in the brain, heart and smooth muscle, respectively. High affinity [3H]glyburide binding was pharmacologically specific, insensitive to a variety of receptor-active ligands, but sensitive to a series of sulfonylureas, and good, essentially 1:1, correlations were obtained between binding affinities and literature-derived pharmacologic activities. The K+ channel activators, cromakalim, nicorandil, pinacidil and minoxidil were not effective as inhibitors of [3H]glyburide binding. However, diazoxide was a modestly effective inhibitor. Putative low affinity sites (KL values, 3 x 10(-7) M, 1 x 10(-7) M and 2 x 10(-9) M) with Bmax-L values 4956, 336 and 53 fmol/mg protein in brain, heart and smooth muscle, respectively, were identified. Their significance remains to be established. Except for ATP gamma S, the ability of nucleotide triphosphates to inhibit high affinity [3H] glyburide binding was dependent on the presence of Mg++. ADP, in the presence of Mg++, inhibited binding with an IC50 value of 6.3 x 10(-4) M. Nucleotide monophosphates did not inhibit [3H] glyburide binding in the presence or absence of Mg++, whereas in the presence of Mg++, nucleotide triphosphates were equally potent inhibitors of binding. The rank order potency for nucleotide diphosphate inhibition of binding, in the presence of Mg++, is ADP greater than GDP greater than IDP = UDP. In the absence of Mg++, [3H]glyburide binding shows a biphasic response to ADP, and the inhibition of binding by ADP was prevented by ATP. It is suggested that this biphasic response is the result of a second nucleotide binding site.
