Abstract

1. The binding of 1,3-[3H]-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine ([3H]-DPCPX), an antagonist radioligand selective for adenosine A1 receptors, was studied in rat duodenum, colon muscularis mucosae and longitudinal muscle, urinary bladder and vasa deferentia. 2. [3H]-DPCPX bound with high affinity to a single site in all membrane preparations studied with the exception of the rat urinary bladder in which no specific binding was detected. The affinity (Kd) of the binding site for [3H]-DPCPX was similar in all membrane preparations, the colon longitudinal muscle (1.18 +/- 0.47 nM), colon muscularis mucosae (0.84 +/- 0.15 nM), duodenum (1.59 +/- 0.18 nM) and vasa deferentia (0.93 +/- 0.17 nM). The density of [3H]-DPCPX binding sites was similar in the duodenum (38.8 +/- 4 fmol mg-1 protein), muscularis mucosae (43 +/- 3.5 fmol mg-1 protein) and vasa deferentia (43.3 +/- 12.2 fmol mg-1 protein), but in the longitudinal muscle 6-7 fold more binding sites (295 +/- 70 fmol mg-1 protein) were identified. 3. Inhibition studies using DPCPX (0.1-100 nM), N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) (0.1-100 nM), 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) (2 nM-10 microM) and (R)-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA) (1 nM-1 microM) to displace the binding of [3H]-DPCPX at a concentration around the Kd value (1 nM), demonstrated an order of potency of displacement in all tissues of DPCPX > or = CPA > R-PIA > NECA. This potency order is characteristic of an A1 receptor, indicating that [3H]-DPCPX binds to adenosine A1 receptors in the rat duodenum, colon and vasa deferentia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
