TABLE 3

Affinities for nonselective and selective D4 receptor antagonists at wild-type and mutant D4 receptors

Nonselective [MIA, (−)-sulpiride, clozapine] and selective (Ro10-4548, PNU101,387G, L-750,667) D4 receptor antagonist affinities (Ki) are expressed as mean ± S.D. (nM) of three separate experiments. Increased (↑) or decreased (↓) Ki values relative to the wild-type D4 receptor are expressed as fold changes within parentheses. Significance relative to the wild-type D4 receptor was determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post hoc (*, P < 0.05). N.D., not determined.

  • a Note that the affinity values of all ligands, including sodium-sensitive (−)-sulpiride, were conducted in the absence of sodium.

  • b Ro10-4548 becomes an agonist at the mutant D4-S5.43A receptor.
