Morphine, naltrexone and naloxone inhibited the binding of [3H]clonidine to the alpha 2-adrenoceptors in human platelet membranes, provided that Mg2+ was present in the medium. In the presence of 5'-guanylyl imidophosphate (Gpp(NH)p) or in the absence of Mg2+ morphine did not modify the binding of [3H]clonidine. Neither [D-Ala2,N-MePhe4,Gly5-ol]enkephalin (DAGO), nor [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE), nor dynorphin-(1-17) affected the [3H]clonidine binding. The presence of 1 mM naloxone did not alter the affinity of either [3H]clonidine or [3H]yohimbine, but reduced the number of binding sites of [3H]clonidine, having no effect on [3H]yohimbine. Naloxone inhibited the binding of adrenaline to high- but not low-affinity sites. It is concluded that morphine and semisynthetic antagonist derivatives interact with alpha 2-adrenoceptors only in the high-affinity state.
