Abstract

Abbott-81988 (A-81988), 2-(N-n-Propyl-N-[(2'-[1H-tetrazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4- yl)methyl]amino)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid is a potent, competitive, non-peptidic antagonist of angiotensin AT1 receptors. A-81988 was labeled with tritium to high specific activity (16 Ci/mmol) and radioligand binding assays performed in rat liver membranes. [3H]A-81988 bound with high affinity (KD = 0.57 nM) and the KD determined from kinetics assays was similar. Non-specific binding (defined with 10(-6) M angiotensin-II) was very low (< 6% at the KD). The binding of [3H]A-81988 was competitive and exhibited appropriate pharmacological specificity for compounds acting at angiotensin AT1 receptors. These properties demonstrate that [3H]A-81988 will be a useful radioligand for studies of angiotensin AT1 receptors in various tissues.
