| Abstract | 1. The putative alpha 1-adrenoceptor subtypes of rat cerebral cortex membranes were characterized in binding. 2. Specific binding of [3H]-prazosin was saturable between 20-5000 pm. Scatchard plots of the binding data were non-linear, indicating the presence of two distinct affinity sites for prazosin (pKD, high = 10.18, Rhigh = 308 fmol mg-1 protein; pKD, low = 8.96, Rlow = 221 fmol mg-1 protein). 3. In the membranes pretreated with chlorethylclonidine (CEC) two affinity sites for prazosin were also observed: the affinities were similar to those without CEC pretreatment, but the maximum numbers of binding sites were reduced by CEC pretreatment to 23 and 62% for prazosin-high (Rhigh) and low affinity sites (Rlow), respectively. 4. The prazosin-high affinity sites were further subdivided into two subclasses by WB4101(2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl)aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane) and phentolamine; the low affinity sites for WB4101 and phentolamine were more potently inactivated by CEC as compared with the high affinity sites. On the other hand, prazosin, HV723 (alpha-ethyl-3,4,5-trimethoxy-alpha-(3-((2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl)- amino )-propyl)benzeneacetonitrile fumarate) and yohimbine inhibited [3H]-prazosin binding to prazosin-high affinity sites monophasically. 5. In addition to the high affinity sites, the prazosin-low affinity sites were labelled at high concentrations of [3H]-prazosin. Thus, prazosin and WB4101 showed shallow displacement curves. On the other hand, HV723 and yohimbine did not discriminate between prazosin-high and low affinity sites. 6. Two distinct alpha 1-adrenoceptor subclassifications have been recently proposed (alpha 1A, alpha 1B subtypes and alpha 1H, alpha 1L, alpha 1N subtypes). 5. In both motoneurones and dorsal root fibres, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) effectively depressed the depolarization induced by kainoids, and neither 3-[(+/-)-2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl]propyl-1- phosphonic acid (CPP) nor picrotoxin blocked or affected the depolarization, but there were some differences in pharmacological potencies of glutamate antagonists between both preparations.6. MFPA, HFPA and acromelic acids should provide valuable pharmacological tools for analysis of physiological functions of excitatory amino acids, in particular, as specific agonists for some subtypes of kainate receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
