A series of6-(-methanesulfonylthioalkoxy)-2-N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines(7a-d) wasprepared and characterized as SH-reactive molecular yardsticks usefulin probing 2-adrenergicreceptors. Rapid displacement of the methanesulfonyl group by acysteine residue in dilute aqueoussolution with concomitant formation of a disulfide conjugate wasverified by MALDI-TOF massspectrometric analysis of the reaction of 7a with acysteine-containing decapeptide.7a-d all showeda marked affinity for the three different variants of human2-adrenergic receptors: H2Awt,H2Bwt, and mutant H2ASer201Cys197. However, onlythe mutated receptor (H2ASer201Cys197)wasirreversibly inactivated, and the extent of inactivation in this casewas linearly dependent on thelength of the side chain of 7a-d.These results show that the molecular yardstick approachtestedhere can provide useful information for modeling receptorproteins.
