Abstract

The pharmacological specificity of representative psychotomimetic agents such as phencyclidine (PCP) analogs, opiate benzomorphans and several antipsychotic agents was assessed for the sigma and PCP binding sites. In a series of binding experiments, in rat brain membranes, sigma and PCP binding sites were labeled with [3H]-1-[1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine [( 3H]PCP-3-OH), (+) [3H]-N-allylnormetazocine [(+) [3H]SKF 10047] and (+) [3H]-3-[3-hydroxy-phenyl]-N-(1-propyl)piperidine [(+) [3H]-3-PPP]. PCP analogs inhibit potently high affinity [3H]PCP-3-OH binding and (+) [3H]SKF 10047 binding, moderately the low affinity binding component of [3H]PCP-3-OH and very weakly (+) [3H]-3-PPP binding. (+)SKF 10047 and cyclazocine are potent to moderate inhibitors of (+) [3H]SKF 10047, high affinity [3H]PCP-3-OH and (+) [3H]-3-PPP binding, but extremely weak inhibitors of low affinity [3H]PCP-3-OH binding. The antipsychotic agents display high affinity for (+) [3H]-3-PPP binding sites, moderate affinity for (+) [3H]SKF 10047 sites and have no effect on either the high or low affinity [3H]PCP-3-OH binding. The present data further support the existence of multiple sigma and PCP binding sites.
