Biological Activity
| Targets | α1A-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 14.5 nM); α1B-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 43.3 nM) |
| ln Vitro | BODIPY FL With affinity for different α1-AR ligands, prazosin (10 nM; 100 μl for 30 minutes at room temperature; COS-7 cells) exhibits values of 14.5 and 43.3 nM for α1a-AR and α1b-AR, respectively [1]. BODIPY FL In erythroleukemia cells, prazosin (100 nM, 30 minutes) can be employed as a molecular probe to see where α1-adrenergic drug binding sites are located on non-adrenergic receptors [3]. |
| Enzyme Assay | Even though the erythroleukemia cell lines K562 and HEL do not express α1-adrenoceptors, some α1-adrenergic drugs influence both survival and differentiation of these cell lines. Since Ca2+ is closely related to cellular homeostasis, we examined the capacity of α1-adrenergic drugs to modulate the intracellular Ca2+ content in K562 cells. Because of morphological alterations of mitochondria following α1-adrenergic agonist treatment, we also scrutinized mitochondrial functions. In order to visualize the non-adrenoceptor binding site(s) of α1-adrenergic drugs in erythroleukemia cells, we evaluated the application of the fluorescent α1-adrenergic antagonist BODIPY FL prazosin. We discovered that the α1-adrenergic agonists naphazoline, oxymetazoline and also the α1-adrenergic antagonist benoxathian are able to raise the intracellular Ca2+-content in K562 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that naphazoline treatment induces ROS-formation as well as an increase in Δψm in K562 cells. Using BODIPY FL prazosin we were able to visualize the non-adrenoceptor binding site(s) of α1-adrenergic drugs in erythroleukemia cells. Interestingly, the SERCA-inhibitor thapsigargin appears to interfere with the binding of BODIPY FL prazosin. Our data suggest that the effects of α1-adrenergic drugs on erythroleukemia cells are mediated by a thapsigargin sensitive binding site, which controls the fate of erythroleukemia cells towards differentiation, senescence and cell death through modulation of intracellular Ca2+ [3]. |
| Cell Assay |
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) subtypes are differentially distributed in the cell; however, it remains unclear how this affects the subtype selectivity of particular drugs. In the present study, we used flow cytometry analysis with the fluorescent ligand, BODIPY FL prazosin, to study the relationship between the subcellular distribution of subtype receptors and the subtype-selective character of ligands using alpha1a and alpha1b-adrenoceptors (ARs). Alpha1a-ARs predominantly localize inside the cell, while alpha1b-ARs on the cell surface. Flow cytometry analysis and confocal laser-scanning micrographs of living cells showed that BODIPY FL prazosin can label not only alpha1-ARs on the cell surface, but also those localized inside the cell. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis of alpha1A-AR-selective drug, KMD-3213, and alpha1B-AR-selective drug, CEC, revealed that the major determinant of the subtype selectivity of each drug is different. The alpha1A-AR selectivity of KMD-3213 can be explained by its much higher affinity for alpha1a-AR than alpha1b-AR (affinity-dependent selectivity), while the alpha1B-AR selectivity of the hydrophilic alkylating agent CEC is due to preferential inactivation of alpha1-ARs on the cell surface (receptor localization-dependent selectivity). This study illustrates that factors in addition to the affinity of the drug for the receptor, such as subcellular localization of the receptor, should be taken into account in assessing the subtype selectivity of a drug [1]. To study substrate affinity of tested AEDs to BCRP, transport experiments were performed in epithelial BCRP-expressing MDCKII-BCRP and MDCKII-parent cell lines cultured on microporous membrane. For detection of inhibitory potency of AEDs to BCRP, accumulation assays were carried out in MEF3.8-BCRP cells with known BCRP substrates, BODIPY FL prazosin and mitoxantrone[2]. |

| Additional Infomation | Purpose: Recent studies have indicated constitutive expression of efflux transporter, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2), in endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In epileptogenic brain tumors such as ganglioma, astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytomas, or glioma multiforme, strong expression of BCRP in the microvasculature of the BBB was observed. Therefore it was hypothesized that this phenomenon could critically influence the bioavailability of drugs in these tumors and potentially contribute to the failure of antiepileptic treatment. The aim of this study was to test whether some commonly used antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are substrates transported by human BCRP. In particular, we focused on phenobarbital, phenytoin, ethosuximide, primidone, valproate, carbamazepine, clonazepam, and lamotrigine. Furthermore, the inhibitory potency of these AEDs to BCRP was examined. Methods: To study substrate affinity of tested AEDs to BCRP, transport experiments were performed in epithelial BCRP-expressing MDCKII-BCRP and MDCKII-parent cell lines cultured on microporous membrane. For detection of inhibitory potency of AEDs to BCRP, accumulation assays were carried out in MEF3.8-BCRP cells with known BCRP substrates, BODIPY FL prazosin and mitoxantrone. Results: No obvious interactions of tested AEDs with BCRP transporter were observed. Therefore these drugs in relevant therapeutic concentrations are neither substrates nor inhibitors of BCRP. Conclusions: Based on our in vitro data we can conclude that resistance to treatment with the tested AEDs probably is not caused by the overexpression of BCRP in the BBB of epileptogenic brain tumors.
