Organic calcium antagonists exert therapeutic actions via voltage dependent calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle. The several different chemical classes of these drugs differ in pharmacologic properties. Recently we (MurPhY and Snyder, 1982; Gould et al., 1982) and others (Bolger et al., 1982; Ehlert et al., 1982) have identified [3H]-nitrendipine binding sites which have properties of receptors for the pharmacologic actions of the dihydropyridine class of calcium antagonists. Since verapamil, D-600 and diltiazem only weakly interact with these sites, they presumably act via distinct recognition sites which may be linked allosterically to the dihydropyridine receptors (Ehlert et al., 1982). The marked regional variations of [3H] nitrendipine binding within the brain suggest that these sites are not primarily on blood vessels (Gould et al., 1982). In the present study we show that [3H] nitrendipine receptors in the brain are localized to neuropil suggesting a role in synaptic function.Autoradiograms were generated by the method of Young and Kuhar (1979) using 8/xm thick slide-mounted rat brain sections. Specific and non-specific binding was determined using 0.2 nM [3H] nitrendipine in 0.17 M Tris-HC1 buffer, pH 7.6, in the absence or presence of 60 nM nifedipine for 30 min at 24 C. Preliminary experiments indicated that the binding was saturable, reversible and showed a pharmacologic profile similar to sites measured in brain homogenates (MurPhy and
