Pharmacological characterization of [3H]PK11195 and [3H]Ro5-4864 binding to Jurkat cell line membranes

Jurkat cells membranes were incubated with 1.5 μM [3H]PK11195 or [3H]Ro5-4864 and increasing drug concentrations. The IC50 values were calculated, and the Ki inhibitory constant was derived (Cheng and Prusoff, 1973). Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M. of three experiments, each performed in triplicate.

PK11195 1.90 ± 0.20 3.68 ± 0.35
Ro5-4864 32.3 ± 4.00 8.74 ± 0.79
Diazepam 79.0 ± 8.00 18.4 ± 1.90
Clonazepam No displacement up to 10-4 M 35 ± 4% at 10-4 M
