A novel irreversible 5-HT1A receptor binding ligand, NCS-MPP (4-(2′-methoxy-phenyl)-1-[2′-(N-2″-pyridyl)-p-isothiocyanobenzamido]-ethyl-piperazine), based on the new 5-HT1A receptor antagonist p-MPPI (4-(2′-methoxy-phenyl)-1-[2′-(N-2″-pyridyl)-p-iodobenzamido]-ethyl-piperazine), was synthesized, and its binding characteristics were evaluated using in vitro homogenate binding with rat hippocampal membranes. The Ki value of NCS-MPP was estimated to be 1.8 ± 0.2 nM using analysis of concentration-dependent inhibition for the binding of [125I]p-MPPI to 5-HT1A receptors. NovaScreen of NCS-MPP showed low to moderate binding affinities to alpha-1, alpha-2-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptors, with Ki values of 350, 420 and 103 nM, respectively. These data strongly suggest that the ligand bound to 5-HT1A receptors with high affinity and high selectivity. Irreversible inhibition of [125I]p-MPPI binding by NCS-MPP following a 5 min incubation at room temperature was concentration dependent; the inhibition increased to 50% at a concentration less than 10 nM, and became more pronounced (~ 90%) at 400 nM. Under similar assay conditions, NCS-MPP was significantly less efficient in irreversibly inhibiting agonist ligand [125I]8-OH-PIPAT binding to 5-HT1A receptors at lower concentrations (< 10 nM). After pretreatment of membranes with a low concentration of NCS-MPP (2 nM), there was an apparent loss of [125]p-MPPI binding sites, as expected, but no change in the binding affinity (Kd) was observed. However, the significant increase in Kd at a higher concentration of NCS-MPP (50 nM) indicated that there may be a secondary alkylation site, which may not be directly involved in p-MPPI binding to receptors; nevertheless, it would lead to an increased Kd value. The availability of an irreversible ligand, NCS-MPP, may provide a useful tool for studies of 5-HT]1A receptors in the central nervous system.
