Competition binding studies were performed in membranes prepared from CHO-K1 cells infected with the rat P2X4 purinoceptor using a Semliki Forest virus construct. The concentration of [35S]ATPγS was 0.1–0.2 nM. Data are mean ± standard error of three to five determinations.

  • 1-a pIC50 value estimated is in excess of the highest concentration of the compound tested.
