    Abstract:
    The pharmacological characteristics of 5-HT3 receptor (5-hydroxytryptamine3 receptor) recognition sites labelled with [3H]-(S)-zacopride and [3H]granisetron in membranes prepared from NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells were directly compared to investigate further differences in the binding characteristics of these two radioligands. Competition curves generated with increasing concentrations of 5-HT3 receptor ligands emphasized the pharmacological similarity of the two recognition sites labelled by [3H]-(S)-zacopride and [3H]granisetron. However, analysis of the nature of the competition curves indicated that 5-HT3 receptor agonists (5-hydroxytryptamine, 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, phenylbiguanide) and quipazine generated Hill coefficients greater than unity when the 5-HT3 receptor recognition sites were labelled with [3H]granisetron whilst these competing compounds displayed Hill coefficients of around unity when the sites were labelled with [3H]-(S)-zacopride. Competition for either [3H]-(S)-zacopride or [3H]granisetron binding by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists granisetron and ondansetron generated Hill coefficients around unity. Furthermore, addition of unlabelled (S)-zacopride (1.0 nM) failed to alter the nature by which quipazine competed for the [3H]granisetron-labelled 5-HT3 receptor recognition site. Consistent with 5-HT3 receptors radiolabelled in rat cortical membranes, the present studies indicate that [3H]-(S)-zacopride may label a different site on the 5-HT3-receptor complex compared to [3H]granisetron.
