Test 1 Dopamine receptor ~DA2 receptor) blnding assay

Test Metho~ 1 :
The affinlty for DA2 receptor of a Test Compound was
determined following in vitro receptor binding assays.
Male rats weighing 150-300g were decapita~ed and the
stratum were dissected from their brains. The tissue was
homogenized in 40 volumes of buffer which consisted of 50
mM Tri~-HCl (p~ 7.~ ~t 25C), ~ mM tetraethylenediamine
tetraacetic acid,5 m~ potassium chloride, 2 mM calcium
chloride, and 1 mM maqnesium chloride. The homogenate was
centrifuged at 50,000 g for 1~ minutes. The pellet was
resuspended in 80 ~olumes of the buffer. The tissue
suspension was centrifuged and suspended again in the same
w~y. 3
Incubation tubes received 100 ~l of t2-N-~2,3(n)- H~-
propyl-N-(2-thiofuranyl)-2'-ethylamino)-5-hydroxy-1,?.,3,4-
tetrahydronaphtha~ene, 10 ~1 of the Test Compound and 0.89
ml of tissue suspension during binding assays. The
concentration of (2-N-[2,3(n)-3H~propyl-N-~2-thiofuranyl)-
2'-ethylamino)-5-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrona~hthalene,
was 1.5 nM. The final tissue concentration of rat
stratum was 160 ~g/ml. The ~ubes were incubated at 25C
for 4S minutes, and then filtered under vacuum through
Whatman GF/B filters and washed three times wi~h 3 ml of
ice-cold buffer. The filters were counted by liguid
scintillat~on counter.
Speciflc binding of ~he (2-N-I2~3(n)-3H~propyl-(N-t2
thiofuranyl)-2'-ethylam~no)-5-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-
naphtha~ene was determined in the presence of 1 yN
apomorphine. The IC50 value of the Test Compound was
3~ calculated from the data of (2-N-12,3(n)-3H~propyl-N-(2-

Test Method 2 :
lS Male SD rats weighin~ 300-400 g were used in this
test. ~ats were pretreated with reserpine (1 mg/kg, S.C.)
17-19 hours before sacrif~ce and then fasted. Test
Compound w~s given orally to the rats 2 hours before -
sacrifi~e. I~-~YdroxYbenzYlhYdrazine (100 mg/k~ p.) was
given 30 mlnutes before sacri~ice.~ E~ch rat was exposed
to miarowaves using a head-focus microwa~e applicator for
1.5 seconds. The whole brain was removed and further
separated tnto the striatum. ::
DOPA was determined as follows; the striatum was :
homogenized in 9 volumes o~ O.lN perchloric acid solution :;
tO.4% EDTA-2Na). The homo~enate was centr~fuged at 10,000
rpm for 1 minute. The supernatant was appl~ed to high
performance liquid chromatography~

Test Method 3 :
The affinity for Serotonin 2 receptor of a test
compound was detenmined following in vitro receptor
b~ nding ~ssays.
Male Wistar rats weighin~ 150-300 g were decapitated
and the frontal cortex were dissected fr~m their brains.
The tissue was homogenized in 1~ volumes of ice-cold
buffer which consisted of 0.32 M Sucrose, 50 mM Tris-HCl
(p~ 7.5 at 25C). The homogenate was centrifuged at 3,300
rpm at 4C for 10 minutes. The supernatant was -
centrifuged at 2~,000 rpm for 20 minutes. The pellet was
resuspended again in the same way, and incubated at ~7~C
for 15 minutes. The tissue suspension was centriAfuged at
20,000 rpm for 20 minutes. The final pellet was
resuspended in 15 ~olumes of ice-cold assay buffer (50 mM
Tris~HCl, 4 mM CaC12, 0.1% Ascorb~c acid, 10 yM pargyline,
pH7.7 at 25-C).
Incubation tubes received 100 ~l of [ethylen-3Hl-
ketanserin, 10 ~l of the test compound and 0.2 ml of
tissue suspension, and 0.69 ml assay buffer during binding
assays. The f~nal concentration of ~ethylen-3H~-
ketanserin was 0.05 nM. The tubes were incubated at 37~C
for 30 minutes, and then filtered under vacuum through
Whatman GF/B f~lters and washed three times wi~h ~ ml of
ice-cold buffer (50 m~ tris/HCl, pH 7.5 at 25C). The
fllters were counted by liquid scintillation counter.
S~ecific b~nding of [ethylen-3H~-ketanserin was
determined ln the presence of 1 ~M mianserin. The~ICSO
value of the test compound was calculated from the data of
[ethylen-3H~-ketanserin ~inding in the presence of 10 9M,
10 8M, 10 7M, and lO 6M test compound.
