Key amino acids of vasopressin V1a receptor responsible for the species difference in the affinity of OPC-21268

A non-peptide, vasopressin V1a receptor-selective antagonist, OPC-21268, exhibited a markedly higher affinity for the rat V1a receptor (Ki=380 nM) than for the human V1a receptor (Ki=140 μM). To delineate the region responsible for the high affinity binding of OPC-21268 for the rat V1a receptor, we have constructed a series of chimeric human and rat V1a receptors, and examined the chimeric and point-mutated receptors by competitive radioligand binding analysis. The results showed that the transmembrane domain (TMD) VI–VII of the vasopressin V1a receptor, in particular the amino acid residue Ala-342 in TMD VII, is the major component conferring the rat-selective binding of OPC-21268 to the V1a receptor.
