There is a close functional and structural relationship between the high affinity binding site for [3H]imipramine [an antidepressant] and the presynaptic and platelet uptake site(s) for serotonin. Several nitro derivatives of imipramine which have a very high affinity for the imipramine binding site and which dissociate very slowly when incubations are performed at 0-4.degree. C were synthesized. The characteristics of [3H]2-nitroimipramine binding to human platelet and rat brain membranes are described. The relative utility of this ligand for studying the impramine binding site (serotonin transporter) is described since this analog has both a higher affinity and specific activity than [3H]imipramine. [3H]2-Nitroimipramine by virtue of its extremely slow dissociation rate should be a valuable tool in subsequent characterization and purification of the serotonin uptake or transport site.
