Specific interactions between a tetramethylrhodamine-labeled kavain derivative and human cortical neurons were found for the first time using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Human cortical neurons, cultivated in Nunc(R) chambers, were incubated with 1 nM of the dye-labeled kavain derivative. A total binding of 0.55 nM was found after an incubation period of 60 min. 50% of the total binding was specifically displaced in the presence of 1 mu M non-labeled (+)-kavain. Evidence for these specific interactions was verified by a saturation experiment. Both the non-linear Scatchard plot and the n value of 1.58 +/- 0.07 in the sigmoid Hill plot indicate binding sites with different binding affinities.
