Sodium dependent [3H]cocaine binding associated with dopamine uptake sites in the rat striatum and human putamen decrease after dopaminergic denervation and in Parkinsons disease

Abstract: The binding of radiolabelled cocaine, an inhibitor of dopamine uptake, to the post-mortem human putamen was studied and compared to that in the rat striatum. Saturation analysis of [3H]cocaine binding to the human putamen revealed the presence of a high affinity component of binding with a Kd of 0.21 mumol/l and a Bmax of 1.47 pmol/mg protein. In addition a low affinity component (Kd = 26.4 mumol/l) was demonstrated, having a Bmax of 42.2 pmol/mg protein. Also in the rat striatum [3H]cocaine binding was both o… Show more

“…Two binding sites have been reported in rat caudate putamen (Schoemaker et al 1985;Izenwasser et al 1993) and human caudate (Little et al 1993) and putamen (Schoemaker et al 1985;Staley et al 1994). In monkey brain, the binding of both [ 3 H]cocaine and the more potent cocaine analog [ 3 H]WIN35,428, fit a two-site binding model better than a one-site model (Madras et al 1989a(Madras et al , 1989b.…”

“…Schoemaker et al (1985) indicates that serotonin (IC50=24.5 ~M) may be slightly less potent than dopamlne (IC50=I0.6 ~M) in inhibiting 3H-cocaine binding to striatal membranes. Our data indicates that serotonin (KD=2.7 ~M) may be slightly more potent in inhibiting 3H-mazindol binding in striatum than dopamine (KD=8.7 ~M).…”

“…Cocaine binds to specific receptors that block presynaptic dopamine reuptake (Kennedy & Hanbauer, 1983;Schoemaker et al, 1985), whereas amphetamine results in the release of dopamine and direct postsynaptic activation (Cooper, Bloom, & Roth, 1982). Moreover, the contingent administration of amphetamine but not cocaine into the nucleus accumbens has been shown to be reinforcing (Goeders & Smith, 1983).…”
