- In this example the affinity of the compounds of the invention for binding to α7-subtype of nicotinic receptors is determined.
- α-Bungarotoxine is a peptide isolated from the venom of the Elapidae snake Bungarus multicinctus. It has high affinity for neuronal and neuromuscular nicotinic receptors, where it acts as a potent antagonist. 3H-α-Bungarotoxine labels nicotinic acetylcholine receptors formed by the α7 subunit isoform found in brain and the α1 isoform in the neuromuscular junction.
- Preparations are performed at 0-4° C. Cerebral cortices from male Wistar rats (150-250 g) are homogenised for 10 seconds in 15 ml of 20 mM Hepes buffer containing 118 mM NaCl, 4.8 mM KCl, 1.2 mM MgSO4 and 2.5 mM CaCl2 (pH 7.5) using an Ultra-Turrax homogeniser. The tissue suspension is subjected to centrifugation at 27,000×g for 10 minutes. The supernatant is discarded and the pellet is washed twice by centrifugation at 27,000×g for 10 minutes in 20 ml of fresh buffer, and the final pellet is then re-suspended in fresh buffer containing 0.01% BSA (35 ml per g of original tissue) and used for binding assays.
- Aliquots of 500 μl of homogenate are added to 25 μl of test solution and 25 μl of 3H-α-bungarotoxine (2 nM, final concentration) and mixed and incubated for 2 hours at 37° C. Non-specific binding is determined using (−)-nicotine (1 mM, final concentration). After incubation, the samples are added 5 ml of ice-cold Hepes buffer containing 0.05% PEI and poured directly onto Whatman GF/C glass fibre filters (pre-soaked in 0.1% PEI for at least 6 hours) under suction, and immediately washed with 2×5 ml ice-cold buffer.
- The amount of radioactivity on the filters is determined by conventional liquid scintillation counting. Specific binding is total binding minus non-specific binding.
- The test value is given as an IC50 (the concentration of the test substance which inhibits the specific binding of 3H-α-bungarotoxin by 50%).
- The results of these experiments are presented in Table 1 below.
