The selectivity of binding of ^<125>I-iodocyanopindolol (^<125>I-ICYP) to β_1-, β_2-adrenergic and 5HT_<1B>-serotonergic receptors were analysed using both the Scatchard and displacement methods. When the binding of ^<125>I-ICYP to the rat brain membrane was examined by means of the displacement analysis with l-metoprolol, triphasic displacement curves were observed. Analyses carried out on the basis of the displacement of ^<125>I-ICYP by β-selective antagonists, α-adrenergic agonists and antagonists, and serotonergic agonists and antagonists indicated the correspondence of the super high, high-and low-affinity sites of ^<125>I-ICYP binding to β_2-, β_1-adrenergic and 5HT_<1B>-receptors, respectively. By contrast, the Scatchard analysis revealed the biphasic character of the ^<125>I-ICYP binding and the complete inhibition of the binding to high-and low-affinity sites by l-metoprolol (30μM) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT, 10 μM), respectively, suggesting the correspondence of the high- and low-affinity sites to β-adrenergic and 5HT_<1B>-receptors. Thus, regarding the determination of the selectivity of binding of a radioligand, the displacement analysis is more informative than the Scatchard analysis. In the case of ^<125>I-ICYP the separation of β_1- and β_2-adrenergic receptors becomes feasible only with the displacement method.
