TABLE 1

Kinetic parameters of [3H]-MLT, 2-[125I]-MLT, [125I]-SD6, [125I]-S70254, and [125I]-DIV880 with the hMT1 and hMT2 receptors at 37°C and at room temperature (RT)

Kinetic parameters (Kon, Koff, and half-life) of [3H]-MLT, 2-[125I]-MLT, [125I]-SD6, [125I]-S70254, and [125I]-DIV880 were measured on membranes from CHO-K1 cells expressing either hMT1 or hMT2 receptors. pKd was calculated as pKd = −log(Koff/Kon). Results are given as the mean ± S.E.M. for at least two experiments.
