    Abstract

    We have estimated the affinity of the antiparkinsonian drug budipine to the PCP binding site of the NMDA receptor and to sigma 1 binding sites in membranes from postmortem human brain frontal cortex. The affinity of budipine to both binding sites is in a concentration range that may be reached under therapeutic conditions (Ki-values of about 12 and 2 microM at the PCP and sigma 1 binding site, respectively). Interactions with NMDA receptors as well as sigma 1 binding sites may contribute to the antiparkinsonian effects of budipine.
