TABLE 1

Comparison of affinities of the six inactivating drugs for the h5-HT7 receptor in radioligand binding assays with their potencies as insurmountable inhibitors of h5-HT7 receptor binding or inhibitors of h5-HT7 receptor activity

IC50 values are reported as the receptors are tested subsequent to the removal of the inactivating drug. Results are the means ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments performed in triplicate.
