Popis: The peripheral benzodiazepine binding site ligand PK 11195 has been 125 I-labeled by direct displacement of aromatic chlorine under solid-state conditions in 50–76% radiochemical yield and >94% radiochemical purity. Purification by high pressure liquid chromatography increased the specific activity of the product from an initial 15–17 Ci/mmol to a final activity of 260–910 Ci/mmol. To determine the affinity of this [ 125 I]PK 11195 analog for human glioma cells, saturation experiments were performed on monolayers of U 251 human glioblastoma cells. Scatchard analysis of saturation data demonstrated that the [ 125 I]PK 11195 analog binds to a single class of sites with a K D of 8.0 ± 1.7 nM and maximal binding of 3.8 ± 0.1 pmol/mg protein. These values are similar to those obtained when [ 3 H]PK 11195 was assayed in U 251 cells ( K D = 14 ± 3.4, B max = 4.1 ± 1.3) suggesting that iodination does not appreciably alter the binding of PK 11195 to human glioma cells. In vivo autoradiographic studies of brain in C 6 glioma bearing rats demonstrate selective binding of the radioligand to the tumor. These results suggest that this [ 125 I]PK 11195 analog may be a useful radiotracer for the study of peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites.
