[°H]-mesulergine binding

The affinity of test drugs for the 5-HT _2c binding site can be determined by assessing their ability to displace [ ³ H]-mesulergine in the rat prefrontal cortex. The method employed was similar to that of Pazos et al, 1984.

The membrane suspension (500 μl) was incubated with [ ³ H]-mesulergine (1 nM) in Tris HCl buffer containing CaCl ₂ 4 mM and ascorbic acid 0.1% (pH 7.4) at 37°C for 30 minutes. Non-specific binding was measured in the presence of mianserin (1 μM) . 30 nM spiperone was used to prevent binding to 5-HT _A sites. Test drugs (10 ^-6 M) were added in a volume of 100 μl. The total assay volume was 1000 μl. Incubation was stopped by rapid filtration using a Brandel cell harvester and radioactivity measured by scintillation counting.

The IC50 values were determined using a four parameter logistic program (DeLean 1978) and the pKi (the negative logarithm of the inhibition constant) calculated from the Cheng Prusoff equation where :
