To gain further insight into the mechanism of action of antiestrogens, we examined the interaction of antiestrogen with the estrogen receptor system and with estrogen- noncompetable antiestrogen binding sites. In addition to binding directly to the estrogen receptor, antiestrogens can be found associated with binding sites that are distinct from the estrogen receptor. In contrast to the restriction of estrogen receptors to estrogen target cells, such as those of uterus and mammary glands, antiestrogen binding sites are present in equal amounts in estrogen receptor-positive and -negative human breast cancer cell lines, such as MCF-7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231 that differ markedly in their sensitivity to antiestrogens. In order to gain greater insight into the role of these antiestrogen binding sites in the action of antiestrogens, we have examined the biopotency of different antiestrogens for the antiestrogen binding sites and that is CI628 > tamoxifen > trans-hydroxy tamoxifen > CI628M > H1285 > LY117018. This order of affinities does not parallel the affinity of these compounds for the estrogen receptor nor the potency of these compounds as antiestrogens. Indeed, compounds with high affinity for the estrogen receptor and greatest antiestrogenic potency have low affinities for these antiestrogen binding sites. Antiestrogenic potency correlates best with estrogen receptor affinity and not with affinity for antiestrogen binding sites. In summary, our findings suggested that interaction with the estrogen receptor is most likely the mechanism through which antiestrogens evoke their growth inhibitory effects.

Oxomemazine이 muscarinic receptor subtypes에 대하여 선택성을 가지는지에 관한 지견을 얻고자, 대뇌, 심실 및 회장 muscarinic receptor에 대한 oxomemazine의 결합성질을 조사, 비교하였다. $[^3H]QNB$ 포화결합실험 결과 세 조직의 muscarinic receptor는 $[^3H]QNB$에 대해서는 affinity가 약 60pM인 단일 receptor인 것으로 추정되었다. 대뇌에서 pirenzepine과 oxomemazine의 $[^3H]QNB$ 결합억제에 대한 Hill coefficient는 각각 0.67 및 0.8로서 대뇌에는 이들 약물에 대하여 affinity가 서로 다른 두 종류의 muscarinic receptor subtypes가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, pirenzepine에 대한 high $affinity(M_1)$와 $low affinity(M_2)$ receptor 및 oxomemazine에 대한 high $affinity(O_H)$와 $low\;affinity (O_L)$ receptor의 분포비는 약 60:40 및 40:60이었고, $M_1$과 $M_2$ receptor에 대한 pirenzepine의 $K_i$치는 16nM 및 431 nM, $O_H$와 $O_L$, receptor에 대한 oxomemazine 의 $K_i$치는 80nM 및 1350nM이었다. 그러나 심실과 회장에서 이들 약물의 $[^3H]QNB$ 결합억제에 대한 Hill coefficient는 1에 가까웠다. 심실과 회장 muscarinic receptor에 대한 pirenzepine의 $K_i$치는 850nM 및 250nM, oxomemazine의 $K_i$치는 1460nM 및 670nM로서 대피에서 이들 약물의 low affinity receptor에 대한 $K_i$치에 가까웠다. 즉, muscarinic receptor에 대한 affinity면에서 oxomemazine은 pirenzepine과 같이 대뇌에서 가장 높았으며, 회장에 대해서는 중등도였고, 심실에서 가장 낮았다. 이로 보아 oxomemazine은 $M_1\;receptor$에 선택성이 있는 것으로 추정된다.

일부의 EGF receptor 에는 EGF 가 세포표면에서 receptor 와 결합할 때 보다 높은 친화력(high affinity)을 보이고 있는데 그 이유를 설명하기 위해서 EGF receptor 의 cytoplasmic 영역을 절단하여 EGF 와의 친화력을 측정하였다. Scatchard plot 의 결과 1022 아미노산 이하로 절단된 receptor 는 high affinity 특성을 상실하였다. Triton X-100로 세포막을 제거하여 cytoskeleton 이 EGF receptor 의 구조에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 cytoskeleton과 결합한 receptor 보다 EGF 에 대해서 더 높은 친화력을 보였다. 따라서 cytoskeleton 이 high affinity EGF receptor 를 형성하는데 영향을 미치고 receptor 와 cytoskeleton 의 가능한 결합부위는 1022-1186 아미노산 사이인 것 같다.

The binding characteristics of pirenzepine and oxomemazine to muscarinic receptor were studied to evaluate the selectivity of oxomemazine for the muscarinic receptor subtypes in rat cerebral microsomes. Equililbrium dissociation constant $(K_D){\;}of{\;}(-)[^3H]$quinuclidinyl benzilate$([^3H)QNB)$ determined from saturation isotherms was 64-pM. Analysis of the pirenzepine inghibition curve of [$^3H$]QNB binding to cerebral microsome indicatd the presence of two receptor subtypes with high $(K_1 = 16 nM, M_1 receptor)$two receptor subypes with about 20-fold difference in the affinity for high $(k_1 = 84nM, {\;} O_H receptor){\;} and {\;}low{\;} (K_1{\;} ={\;} 1.65\muM, {\;} O_L receptor$) affinity sites. The percentage populations of $M_1{\;} and M_3$, /TEX> receptors to the total receptors were 61 : 39, and those of $O_H{\;} and{\;} O_L$ receptors 39 : 61, resepectively. Both pirenzepine and oxomemazine increaed the $K_D$ value for $[^3H]QNB$ without affecting the binding site concentrations and Hii coefficient for the $[^3H]QNB$ without affecting the binding site concentractions and Hill coefficient for the [$^{3}$H]QNB binding. Oxomemazine had a 10-fold higher affinity at $M_1$ receptors than at $M_3$ receptors, and pirenzepine a 8-fold higher affinity at $O_H$ receptors were of $O_H$ receptors and 71% of $M_3$ receptors. However, $M_3$for oxomemazine and $O_H$for pirenzepine were composed of a uniform population. These results suggest that oxomemazine could be classified as a selective drug for $M_1$ receptors and also demonstrate that rat cerebral microsomes contain three different subtypes of $M_1{\;} M_3$ and the other site which is different from $M_1, {\;} M_2$, /TEX> receptors.

Dibenamine inhibited [$^{3}$H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([$^{3}$H]QNB) binding in both concentration and incubation time-dependent manners. The $IC_{50}$/ value of dibenamine for the inhibition of the specific binding of 100 pM [$^{3}$'H]QNB following incubation of cerebral microsomes with dibenamine at 37.deg. C for 15 min was 20.mu.M. Dibenamine irreversibly decreased the binding site concentration for [$^{3}$H]QNB binding without affecting the affinity of [$^{3}$H]QNB for the muscarinic receptor. Analysis of the pirenzepine inhibition curve of [$^{3}$H]QNB binding to cerebral microsomes indicated the presence of two receptor subtypes with high(M$_{1}$ receptor, Ki=5nM) and low (M$_{2}$ receptor, Ki=160nM) affinity for pirenzepine. However, dibenamine(20.mu.M) treatment under the condition employed in these experiments caused steepening of the pirenzepine competition curve. The Ki value for pirenzepine in dibenamine treated-microsomes was approximately 120nM. suggesting a selective decrease in the number of M$_{1}$ receptor. Although dibenamine also inhibited [$^{3}$H]QNB binding to ventricular microsomes with $IC_{50}$/ value of 120.mu.M, the sensitivity for dibenamine in the ventricle was much lower than that in the cerebrum. These results indicate that dibenamine at low concentrations welectively inactivates the muscarinic M$_{1}$ receptor.

The nature of the muscarinic receptors in bovine adrenal medulla was investigated in this study. [$^3$H]Quinuclidinyl benzilate(QNB) specifically bound to a single class of muscarinic receptor with a $K_{D}$ value of about 70 pM in bovine adrenal medullary, cardiac ventricular and ileal homogenates. Pirenzepine inhibition curves of [$^3$H]QNB binding to cardiac ventricular and ileal homogenates were steep, indicating the presence of a single class of binding site for pirenzepine with a Ki value of 990 nM and 508 nM, respectively. However, pirenzepine/[$^3$H]QNB competition binding curves in adrenal medulla suggested the presence of two binding sites (Hill coefficient=0.59) with a high( $M_1$) and a low( $M_2$) affinity. Respective Ki values for pirenfepine were 16 nM and 633 nM, with 44% of total sites having a high affinity( $M_1$). Gallamine, which is selective to cardiac $M_2$-receptor, inhibited [$^3$H]QNB binding to adrenal medullary, cardiac ventricular and ileal homogenates with Ki values of 12 $\mu$M, 6 $\mu$M and 13 $\mu$M, respectively. Thus, the binding affinities of pirenzepine and gallamine for $M_2$-receptor in adrenal medulla were similar to those in ileum, which contains the $M_3$-receptor. These results indicate that the $M_1$- and $M_3$- muscarinic receptor subtypes coexist in the bovine adrenal medulla.a.

Lactose operon contains two CRP binding sites at promoter(CRP1 site) and operator(CRP2 site) regions at lac operon. CRP protein can bind to both sites with the different binding affinity. CRP1 site, major CRP binding site, acts the transcription activation with the fully unknown mechanism by binding of CRP. In this study, the binding affinities of CRP1 site and CRP2 site were measured with the fluorescein-labeled oligomers, which contain CRP1 site and the three different spacing sequences between GTGA and TCAC at CRP2 site. Results showed that CRP:cAMP complex bound to CRP1 site 3 times more strongly than CRP2 site and the base spacing between GTGA and TCAC was not the only factor to affect the binding affinity of CRP to CRP2 site.

A series of 4-substituted-kynurenic acid derivatives possessing several different substituents at C4-position which are consisted of both a flexible propyloxy chain and an adjunct several type of carbonyl groups has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antagonist activity at the glycine site on the NMDA receptor. Of them, N-benzoylthiourea 15c and N-phenylthiourea 15a were found to have the best in vitro binding affinity with $IC_{50}$ of 3.95 and $6.04{\mu}M$, respectively. On the other hand, in compounds 12a-c and 13 the displacement of a thiourea group to an amide or a carbamate caused a significant decrease of the in vitro binding affinity. In the SAR study of the 4-substituted kynurenic acid derivatives, it was realized that the terminal substitution pattern on a flexible C4-propyloxy chain of kynurenic acid nucleus significantly influences on the binding affinity for glycine site; the binding affinity to the NMDA receptor might be increased by the introduction of a suitable electron rich substituent at C4 of kynurenic acid nucleus.

A single uniform population of specific, saturable, high affinity binding site of $[^3H]QNB$ guinuclidinyl benzilate(QNB) was identified in the rat cerebral microsomes. The Kd value(37.2 pM) for $[^3H]QNB$ calculated from the kinetically derived rate constants was in agreement with the Kd value(48.9 pM) determined by analysis of saturation isotherms at various receptor concentrations. Dimenhydrinate(DMH), histamine $H_1-blocker$, increased Kd value for $[^3H]QNB$ QNB without affecting the binding site concentrations and this effect resulted from the ability of DMH to slow $[^3H]QNB-receptor$ association. Pirenzepine inhibition curve of $[^3H]QNB$ binding was shallow(nH = 0.52) indicating the presence of two receptor subtypes with high ($M_1-site$) and low($M_2-site$) affinity for pirenzepine. Analysis of these inhibition curves yielded that 68% of the total receptor populations were of the $M_1-subtype$ and the remaining 32% of the $M_2-subtype$. Ki values for the $M_1-$ and $M_2-subtypes$ were 2.42 nM and 629.3 nM, respectively. Ki values for $H_1-blockers$ that inhibited $[^3H]QNB$ binding varied with a wide range ($0.02-2.5\;{\mu}M$). The Pseudo-Hill coefficients for inhibition of $[^3H]QNB$ binding by most of $H_1-blockers$ examined except for oxomemazine inhibition of $[^3H]QNB$ binding were close to one. The inhibition curve for oxomemazine in competition with $[^3H]QNB$ was shallow(nH = 0.74) indicating the presence of two receptor populations with different affinities for this drug. The proportion of high and low affinity was 33:67. The Ki values for oxomemazine were $0.045{\pm}0.016\;{\mu}M$ for high affinity and $1.145{\pm}0.232\;{\mu}M$ for low affinity sites. These data indicate that muscarinic receptor blocking potency of $H_1-blockers$ varies widely between different drugs and that most of $H_1-blockers$ examined are nonselective antagonist for the muscarinic receptor subtypes, whereas oxomemazine might be capable of distinguishing between subclasses of muscarinic receptor.

The water extracts of 82 Korean medicinal herbs were prepared and were examined for the binding affinity on the glycine binding site of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor prepared by the synaptic membranes from the forebrains of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Among the tested, the extracts of Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Hoveniae Semen cum Fructus, Astragali Radix, Armeniacae Semen, Huttuynia cordata Herba, Acanthopanacis Cortex, Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium, Phellinus linteus, Amomi Fructus, Artemisiae capillaris Herba, Polyporus, Agastachis Herba and of Galli Stomachichum Corium were found to exhibit significant competitions with $[^3H]-MDL$ 105,519 for the glycine specific binding site of NMDA receptor in a dose dependent manner, respectively.
