The filter disks were washed 3 times with 4 ml ice-cold 50 mM Tris/HCl, 10 mM MgCl.sub.2 buffer (pH 7.5), and dried for 2 hours at 80.degree. C. These filter disks were counted by liquid scintillation counter with an efficacy of 40%. Nonspecific binding was defined as nondisplaceable binding in the presence of 10 .mu.M phentolamine, while specific binding was defined as the difference between total and non specific binding. The concentration of the test compound inhibiting 50% of the specific binding of .sup.3 H-Prazosin was calbulated by log profit analysis of the binding data.
