The binding of [3H]histamine to H2 receptors in homogenates of rat cerebral cortex is inhibited by 11 H2 agonists in a characteristic and unique manner. At low concentrations of the radioligand (less than 1.5 nM), the inhibitory profiles of individual agonists (A) are distinctly biphasic; specific binding is well described in most cases by the empirical expression Y = F1K1/(K1 + [A]) + F2K2/(K2 + [A]), in which F1 and F2 sum to 1. Maximal inhibition is the same for all agonists. Since values of F2 vary from 0.42 to 0.90, the agonist appears to determine the equilibrium distribution of receptors between two states of affinity. Ratios of apparent affinity (K2/K1) vary from 204 to 3 090 000, and there is no correlation between values of K1 and K2. Compounds lacking H2 activity, including structural analogues of histamine and dimaprit, reveal a Hill coefficient of 1 and inhibit the radioligand only weakly. For six agonists, values of K2 agree and correlate well (P = 0.00047) with H2 pharmacological potency (EC50) in the guinea pig right atrium; for the others, K2 is less than EC50 by 15-61-fold. Four observations suggest that the inhibition corresponding to F1 is allosteric and cooperative: the dissociation constant of the radioligand appears to vary in the presence of an unlabeled agonist, absolute levels of binding corresponding to F1, as defined by dimaprit, decrease at higher concentrations of [3H]histamine, F1 for dimaprit is reduced from 0.48 to 0.32 by 2-methylhistamine (F1 = 0.27) at a concentration of 20 nM (approximately K1(0.5) K2(0.5) for 2-methylhistamine), but the increase in K1 for dimprit is at least 100-fold less than expected from competitive effects, and 1 equiv of some agonists appears to preclude access of [3H]histamine to more than 1 equiv of receptors, with no evidence that an appreciable fraction of the unlabeled drug is bound. Noncompetitive effects also may account in part for the inhibition corresponding to F2.
