Abstract
The tyrosyl derivative of the tachykinin NK2 selective agonist [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]NKA-(4-10) was iodinated and the product [125I][Lys5,Tyr(I2)2,MeLeu 9,Nle10]NKA-(4-10) purified using reverse phase HPLC. The binding characteristics of this novel radioligand were investigated in homogenates of rat gastric fundus. Binding was saturable, reversible and to a single population of high affinity sites of KD 1.3 ± 0.2 nM (n = 4). Specific binding of [125I][Lys5,Tyr(I2)7,MeLeu 9,Nle10 ]NKA-(4-10) was inhibited by neuropeptide γ SR 48968 ≥ neurokinin A (NKA) ≥ [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]NKA-(4-10) > [Lys5,Tyr7,MeLeu9,Nle10]NKA- (4 -10) > neuropeptide K > [Lys5,Tyr(I2)7,MeLeu9,Nle 10]NKA-(4-10) > MDL 29,913 > [127I]-Bolton-Hunter-NKA > neurokinin B > substance P (SP) ≫ MEN 10207 > [Sar9,Met(O2)11]SP ≫ senktide, indicating binding to NK2 receptors. NKA, [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]NKA-(4-10) and [Lys5,Tyr(I2)7,MeLeu9,Nle 10]NKA-(4minus;10) contracted the isolated fundus strip, with pD2 values 7.9, 7.7 and 7.4, respectively. This novel, highly selective radioligand should prove useful in characterisation studies in peripheral tissues.
