The kinetic and pharmacological profiles of the potent and selective D-2 dopamine agonist 2-(N-propyl-N-2-thienylethylamino)-5-hydroxytetralin ([3H]N-0437) have recently been described. This report concerns the effects of chemical lesions and metal ions on the radioreceptor binding of [3H]N-0437. Kainic acid lesions reduced the maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) in the rat striatum by 50%. The affinity of [3H]N-0437 for dopamine receptors was reduced by half. 6-Hydroxydopamine lesions had no measurable effect on the Bmax or on the KD. Of the physiological metal ions tested only Na+ had a significant effect on the binding. Sodium ions reduced the affinity of [3H]N-0437 for striatal receptors from 5.0 +/- 1.1 nM to 8.4 +/- 0.3 nM. In addition GTP lowered the Bmax from 1121 +/- 44 to 868 +/- 84 fmol/mg protein. The trace ions Li+ and Mn2+ had no effect at a concentration of 3.0 mM, while the exogenous ion Hg2+ at the same concentration prevented the specific binding of [3H]N-0437. Together, the results suggest that [3H]N-0437 labels both pre- and postsynaptic receptors, although postsynaptic receptors are labelled preferentially. Moreover, there is an indication that GTP shifts the affinity state of the D-2 receptor from high to low, while Na+ seems to be an allosteric inhibitor.
