Synthesis and evaluation of optically pure [3H]-(+)-pentazocine, a highly potent and selective radioligand for sigma receptors.
Tritium-labeled (+)-pentazocine ([3H]-1b) of specific activity 26.6 Ci/mmol was synthesized in 3 steps starting with (+)-normetazocine (2) of defined optical purity. [3H]-1b has been characterized as a highly selective ligand for labeling of sigma receptors. Competition data revealed that [3H]-1b could be displaced from guinea pig brain membrane preparations with a number of commonly used sigma receptor ligands. [3H]-1b exhibited saturable, enantioselective binding with a Kd of 5.13 +/- 0.97 nM and a Bmax of 1146 +/- 122 fmol/mg protein. Phencyclidine (PCP) displaced [3H]-1b with low affinity while MK-801 was inactive, thus indicating insignificant activity at the PCP-binding site; apomorphine failed to displace [3H]-1b indicating lack of dopamine receptor cross-reactivity. Since the affinity of [3H]-1b is about 6 times that of the two commonly employed sigma ligands ((+)-3-[3H]PPP and [3H]DTG) and since it is more selective for sigma receptors than the benzomorphan [3H]SKF-10,047, it represents the first example of a highly selective benzomorphan based sigma receptor ligand. [3H]-1b should prove useful for further study of the structure and function of sigma receptors.
