Popis: [3H]PK 11195 binding to peripheral type benzodiazepine binding sites in kidney membranes is inhibited by the histidine blocking agent diethylpyrocarbonate. This reagent irreversibly decreases the Bmax for [3H]PK 11195 without affecting the affinity. By contrast binding of [3H]RO5-4864 is not affected by diethylpyrocarbonate treatment. However RO5-4864 can protect in a concentration dependent manner the [3H]PK 11195 binding site from diethylpyrocarbonate whereas clonazepam and RO15-1788 are not active. These results suggest that PK 11195 and RO5-4864 interact with different conformational states of the receptors that RO5-4864. This is in agreement with our previous hypothesis that PK 11195 is an antagonist and RO5-4864 an agonist at the "peripheral type" benzodiazepine receptors.
