3H-clozapine binding to rat brain membranes

Abstract

3H-Clozapine binds specifically and with high affinity (KD = 1.3 nM) to rat brain membranes. About two thirds of reversibly bound 3H-clozapine are displaced by hyoscyamine in a stereospecific manner, suggesting interaction of clozapine with muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Most of the remaining 3H-clozapine binding is stereospecifically inhibited by butaclamol, but this binding component seems not to be related to dopamine receptors.
