Popis: [ 3 H]MEN 11420, a radiolabeled glycosylated peptide antagonist of the tachykinin NK 2 receptor, has been investigated in ligand-receptor binding assays using membranes of CHO cells transfected with the human tachykinin NK 2 receptor. [ 3 H]MEN 11420 bound to a single class of high affinity binding sites: its binding was inhibited by natural tachykinins (potency ranking: NKA ⪢ SP ≥ NKB), as well as by peptide (MEN 11420 > MEN 10376 ⪢ R 396) and nonpeptide (SR 48968 > GR 159897) selective NK 2 receptor antagonists. These data indicate that [ 3 H]MEN 11420 is a potent radioligand for the human tachykinin NK 2 receptor that may represent a useful tool for studying ligand-receptor interactions at the molecular level.
