Three new site-directed irreversible (wash-resistant) ligands for the high-affinity phencyclidine (PCP) binding site associated with the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor were synthesized and their binding characteristics were studied. (+)-3- And (+)-2-isothiocyanato-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycl ohepten-5,10 - imine hydrochloride ((+)-8a,b.HCl) were prepared in four steps from the corresponding nitro derivatives (+)-4a,b, which were obtained by nitration of (+)-3 (MK-801). In the same way the optical antipode (-)-8a.HCl was synthesized from (-)-3. At a concentration of 100 nM, the 3-isothiocyanate derivative (+)-8a irreversibly labeled approximately 50% of the (+)-[3H]-3 binding sites, compared to 20 microM needed for its optical antipode (-)-8a and the 2-isothiocyanate (+)-8b. The apparent Ki values for reversible inhibition of (+)-[3H]-3 binding by (+)- and (-)-8a and (+)-8b were 37,838, and 843 nM, respectively. In contrast, metaphit (1b) and etoxadrol m-isothiocyanate (2b), two previously reported irreversible ligands for the PCP binding site, label about 50% of the (+)-[3H]-3 binding sites at 100 microM and 250 nM, respectively, with apparent Ki values for reversible inhibition of 535 and 94 nM. Compound (+)-8a is also a selective affinity ligand, displaying little or no irreversible in vitro affinity at 100 microM for opioid, benzodiazepine, muscarinic, and dopamine receptors. At a 25 microM concentration, (+)-8a caused an irreversible 52% reduction of binding to sigma 1-receptors. Compound (+)-8a is the most potent known electrophilic affinity label for the PCP binding site. Its potency and selectivity should enable it to be a valuable tool for the elucidation of the structure and function of the NMDA receptor-associated PCP binding site in the mammalian central nervous system.
