Popis: [3H]Batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate ([3H]BTX-B) binds specifically and with high affinity (Kd = 30 nM) to a site on voltage-dependent Na+ channels. Compounds with local anesthetic activity inhibit the binding of [3H]BTX-B by a mutually exclusive, allosteric mechanism. The potential local anesthetic potency of a series of 23 opioids and phencyclidine-like compounds has been estimated by their inhibition of [3H]BTX-B binding to Na+ channels in a preparation of synaptoneurosomes from guinea pig cerebral cortex. The potency of these compounds were also tested as inhibitors of the specific binding of [3H]phencyclidine ([3H]PCP) to a high affinity site on rat brain membranes. Opioids such as morphine and codeine show little affinity for the [3H]BTX-B binding site or for the [3H]PCP binding site. Other analgesics, many of the PCP-like compounds and dioxadrol derivatives are potent versus [3H]BTX-B binding and display both stereospecificity and high affinity towards the PCP-binding site. However, there was no correlation between local anesthetic potency assessed as antagonism of [3H]BTX-B binding and affinity towards the PCP site. Five classical local anesthetics had no affinity for the PCP-site, but did displace [3H]BTX-B from its binding site.
