Summary
The techniques of the radioreceptor binding assay were applied to detect stereoselective binding of quinidine and quinine to a site on human liver microsomes. Binding of3H-dihydroquinidine was 50% inhibited by 20–100 nM quinidine, while its enantiomer quinine did not displace the3H-ligand at concentrations up to 500 nM. This stereoselectivity agreed with the affinity values measured by functional enzyme assays of cytochrome P450 activity using sparteine or debrisoquine as substrates.
