6-Nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione (NBQX) is a competitive antagonist selective for alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptors. Here we report the pharmacological characteristics and anatomical distribution of [3H]NBQX binding to rat brain. The association rate of [3H]NBQX to rat cerebrocortical membranes was rapid, with peak binding occurring within 10 min at 0 degree C. The off-rate was also rapid, with near-complete dissociation of the radioligand within 5 min of addition of 1 mM unlabelled L-glutamate. [3H]NBQX bound to a single class of sites with KD and Bmax values of 47 nM and 2.6 pmol mg-1 of protein, respectively. The rank order of inhibition of [3H]NBQX binding by AMPA receptor ligands was NBQX > > 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) > or = (S)-5-fluorowillardiine > or = AMPA > > L-glutamate. The chaotrope KSCN had no effect on the IC50 value of unlabelled NBQX displacement of [3H]NBQX binding. The kainate receptor-selective ligands NS102 and kainate were only very weak displacers. It is interesting that NBQX and CNQX displaced significantly more [3H]NBQX than any of the agonists tested. Autoradiographic analysis of the binding of [3H]NBQX to coronal sections showed a distribution compatible with that of [3H]AMPA binding. These data indicate that [3H]NBQX provides a useful novel tool to characterise the antagonist binding properties of AMPA receptors.
