Abstract:

Two kinds of γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA) receptor ligands, Ro7-1986/1 and Fipronil, were explored for preparing fluorescein conjugates including FITC-Ro7-1986/1 and FITC-Fipronil. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and 1H NMR were used to characterize the structures of the synthesized products. The interactions between GABA receptor in hypophthalmichthys nobilis brain and both ligands were studied by fluorescence-labeling method. In addition, the effects of GABA on the binding of Ro7-1986/1 and GABA receptors were also investigated. The results showed that the equilibrium dissociation constants(Kd) and the maximum number of binding sites [RT] between Ro7-1986/1 and receptor were (67±5) nmol/L and (13.8±1.8) pmol/mg protein, respectively. The values of Kd and [RT] between Fipronil and receptor were (346±6) nmol/L and (40.6±3.5) pmol/mg protein, respectively. Meanwhile, GABA was able to significantly elevate the binding of between ligand and receptor, which indicated the pharmacological properties of GABA receptor in fish brain are remarkably similar to those in mammalian brain. Moreover, Fipronil exhibited more excellent affinities to fish by comparison to mammals.
