TABLE 2

Affinity and activity data for the wild-type and CB1 receptors with mutations at residue 268

Data are the median and corresponding 95% confidence limits or the mean ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Bmax value for wild-type was 3825 ± 80 fmol/mg as reported in Table 1; Bmax value for F268Y was 3405 ± 228 fmol/mg. EC50 and Bmax values were determined from CP55940 dose-response model.

  • N.D., no detectable binding up to 100 μM of displacing ligand at 20 nM tracer.

  • * Statistically significant differences from wild-type (p < 0.05) using analysis of variance followed by Dunn's post hoc test.

  • a 26% displacement was observed at 32 μM CP55940 in presence of 20 nM [3H]CP55940.

  • b 31% displacement was observed at 32 μM CP55940 in presence of 20 nM [3H]CP55940.

  • d 28% displacement was observed at 32 μM CP55940 in presence of 20 nM [3H]CP55940.

  • c No displacement was observed at 32 μM SR141716A in presence of 40 nM [3H]SR141716A.
