    Abstract:
    PD 128907 [4a R, 10 b R-(+)-trans-3, 4, 4a, 10 b - tetrahydro - 4- n -propyl2 H,5H-[1]benzop-yrano[4,3-b]1,4-oxazin-9-ol.], a selective dopamine (DA) D3 receptor agonist ligand exhibits about a 1000-fold selectivity for human D3 receptors (Ki, 1 nM) versus human D2 receptors (Ki, 1183 nM) and a 10000-fold selectivity versus human D4 receptors (Ki, 7000 nM) using [3H]spiperone as the radioligand in CHO-K1-cells. Studies with [3H]PD 128907, showed saturable, high affinity binding to human D3 receptors expressed in CHO-K1 cells (CHO-K1-D3) with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.99 nM and a binding density (Bmax) of 475 fmol/mg protein. Under the same conditions, there was no significant specific binding in CHO-K1-cells expressing human D2 receptors (CHO-K1-D2). The rank order of potency for inhibition of [3H]PD 128907 binding with reference DA agents was consistent with reported values for D3 receptors. These results indicate that [3H]PD 128907 is a new, highly selective D3 receptor ligand with high specific activity, high specific binding and low non-specific binding and therefore should be useful for further characterizing the DA D3 receptors.
