Article Title: Synthesis and characterization of [(125)I]3'-(-)-iodopentazocine, a selective σ(1) receptor ligand
Abstract: Pentazocine is a potent ligand at both opioid and a receptors, but with opposite stereoselectivities. Whereas (-)-pentazocine has high affinity for a number of opioid receptors, (+)-pentazocine labels σ1 receptors. Iodination of(-)-pentazocine at the 3'-position reverses its selectivity for opioid and σ1 receptors. 3'-(-)-Iodopentazocine competes at σ1 receptor binding sites with a K(i) value of 8 nM, compared to approximately 40 nM for(-)-pentazocine. 3'-(-)-Iodopentazocine also has lost its affinity for opioid receptors. In contrast, iodination of (+)-pentazocine lowers its affinity at σ1 receptors. Synthesis of [125I]3'-(-)-iodopentazocine is readily performed with incorporations of up to 80%. Binding is of high affinity and shows the selectivity anticipated for a σ1 receptor-selective ligand. Exposing membranes prebound with [125I]3'-(-)-iodopentazocine to ultraviolet light can covalently couple the ligand into the membranes. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals a major band at about 25 kDa and a minor one at about 20 kDa, indicating photolabeling of a, receptors with minor incorporation into σ2 sites.
