- Abstract
- In rat brain, [3H]glibenclamide binds with high affinity to sulfonylurea receptors associated with ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels. KATP channels may play a modulatory role in neurotransmitter release and are involved in acute pathological events occurring in the brain. Fluorescein derivatives, which are suitable tools for the labelling of nucleotide binding sites, influence KATP channels and sulfonylurea receptors properties in insulinoma and cardiac cells. In this study, a negative allosteric action of fluorescein derivatives on glibenclamide binding sites has been shown in rat cortical neurons. This supports the hypothesis of interactions between nucleotide- and sulfonylurea-binding sites within the sulfonylurea receptor.
