Abstract：
:[3H]ET (etorphine), which is considered either as an "universal" ligand or a mu agonist, interacts with identical affinities KD = 0.33-0.38 nM to hybrid cells and rabbit cerebellum, pure delta and mu-enriched opioid receptor preparations, respectively. In rat brain tissue, [3H]ET binding is inhibited by DAGO (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)-Phe-Gly-ol), a mu selective agonist, in a competitive manner without apparent modification of the maximal number of sites. Furthermore, even at a DAGO concentration (300 nM) which should be sufficient to block [3H]ET interaction with mu sites, no variation in the total capacity of the tritiated ligand is observed. In contrast, DTLET (Tyr-D-Thr-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr), a delta-preferential agonist, blocks [3H]ET binding in rat brain at a concentration able to saturate delta-sites. At higher concentrations, where DTLET cross reacts with mu-sites, this ligand exhibits similar properties to those of DAGO. These data are very different from those obtained with [3H]EKC (ethylketocyclazocine), another "universal" ligand, the binding properties of which are easily explained by the occurrence in rat brain tissue of independent sites exhibiting pharmacological profiles of mu, delta and kappa sites. Our results underline the possible misinterpretation of binding data obtained by using [3H] etorphine as a non selective ligand.
