Abstract

The angiotensin coverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor [3H]SQ29,852 identified a single high affinity recognition site (defined by 10.0 μM captopril) in the human temporal cortex (pKD 8.62 ± 0.03; Bmax 248 ± 24 fmol mg-1 protein, mean±S.E.M., n = 4). ACE inhibitors and thiorphan competed to a similar level for the [3H]SQ29,852 binding site in the human temporal cortex with a rank order of affinity (pKi values mean ± S.E.M., n = 3), lisinopril (9.49 +- 0.02), captopril (9.16 ±0.08), SQ29.852 (8.58 ± 0.04), epicaptopril (7.09 ± 0.08), fosinopril (7.08 ± 0.05) and thiorphan (6.40 ± 0.04). Since this rank order of affinity is similar to the affinity of these compounds to inhibit brain ACE activity it is concluded that [3H]SQ29,852 selectively labels the inhibitor recognition site of ACE in the human temporal cortex.
