pubmed-article:1385924 | pubmed:abstractText | [3H]-BAY U 3405 was used to characterize the pH-dependency of the binding of various ligands to the TXA2/PGH2-receptor of human platelet membranes. Maximum binding of [3H]-BAY U 3405 is achieved at pH 5.8. In inhibition studies the ligands Daltroban, CTA2, and U 46619 also show a higher affinity at pH 5.8 compared to pH 7.4. In contrast, the ligands I-PTA-OH and GR 32191 have a higher affinity at pH 7.4. No difference is seen with SQ 29548. The ligands I-PTA-OH, GR 32191, and SQ 29548 have a second protonable group in common, which is thought to be the reason for the different pH-dependent binding. | lld:pubmed |
