| Research Abstract |
A fundamental study was performed on a quantitative measurement of brain receptor using an autoradiographic technique in rats. Highly qualified autoradiograms were obtained using six different ligands labeled with tritium after the investigation of appropriate incubation time and washing time, and of presence or absence of saturation. In a comparative study in quantitation and manipulation among the following three systems for anlayzing autoradiograms:1)scanning densitometer, 2) drum scanner, 3)video digitizer system (VDS), the VDS system showed by far the most convenient manipulation without any significant differences in quantitation. Appropriate setting of conditions in the ligandreceptor interaction revealed the similarity of the hitherto discordant values for the maximum number of binding sites of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and equilibrium dissociation conastant of its antagonist, H-quinuclidinyl bezylate, between in -vitro receptor assay and receptor autoradiography in

the conventional Scatchard analysis. It is said that ligand-muscarinic receptor complex shows a conformational change from low to high affinity from (isomerization). In this isomerization model four rate constants were estimated with the use of a mewly developed mathematical equation. The validity of this new analysis was confirmed from the observation that the apparent equilibrium dissociation rate constant from these rate constants was in a good agreement with that from non-isomerization model. Schizophrenic model rats were developed eutger by administrating methamphetamine or by injection of 6-OHDA to prefrontal cortex, of which cerebral blood flow and glucose metablolsm were not significantly different from controls. Further investigations are being carried out on receptor changes in these models. Twenty to thirty percent derease in the maximum number of binding sites of 5-HT2 receptor was demonstrated in a part of frontal cortex after administrating clomipramine in the receptor autoradiography. For single photon emission computed tomography, 99mTc-labeled chelating agent was developed which crosses the blood-brain barrier. A multi-tracer autoradiographic technique was also established for simulataneous evaluation of cererbral blood flow and its metabolism. Less
