Binding affinities for various α1-adrenoceptor antagonists estimated at [3H]-silodosin binding sites in iris segments of pigmented and albino rabbits

Pigmented rabbit
Albino rabbit
pKi pKihigh (% high) pKilow
Prazosin 6.3 ± 0.3 9.5 ± 0.3 (50) 7.6 ± 0.2
Bunazosin 6.2 ± 0.1 9.3 ± 0.2 (52) 6.4 ± 0.3
RS-17053 5.7 ± 0.3 8.3 ± 0.2 (43) 6.5 ± 0.1
Silodosin 9.0 ± 0.2 ND
Tamsulosin 9.1 ± 0.3 9.6 ± 0.4
5-Methylurapidil 7.5 ± 0.1 9.1 ± 0.2 (47) 7.4 ± 0.2
BMY 7378 6.2 ± 0.1 ND

Data shown are means ± SEM of four or five experiments. pKihigh and pKilow: negative logarithm of equilibrium dissociation constants at high- and low-affinity sites for antagonists tested. % high: proportion of high-affinity sites.

BMY 7378, 8-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione dihydrochloride; ND, not determined; SEM, standard error of the mean.
