The author apologises that in the above-mentioned article, some correlations between log P values were erroneously printed. The correct Table 1, Fig. 7, and corrected texts are given here. p. 129, Section 3.3, paragraph 5, lines 1 –11 should read: As shown in Fig. 6, a linear correlation between pKi and log P values was obtained for the complete data set (r 2 = 0.696, P < 0.001; stippled line; slope 0.540). The correlation between pKi values and log P values of the remaining compounds (Fig. 6, filled circles) showed an excellent correlation (r 2 = 0.918, P < 0.001; unbroken line; slope
The estimates of the logarithm of partition coefficient in n-octanol/water (log P) were obtained by use of Crippen’s fragmentation method (Ghose and Crippen, 1986; Ghose et al., 1988) in the computer programme ChemDraw Ultra 5.0. The antagonist potencies were determined by shifts of agonist concentration – response curves using two-electrode voltage clamping on a1h2g2S expressing Xenopus oocytes (see Materials and methods). Ki values (AM) are calculated from pKi values found in brackets. The pKi values represent mean F S.E.M. of at least four experiments.

Fig. 7. Correlation between the mean antagonist affinity (pKi) and the lipophilicity (log P) of the substituent of the 4-PIOL analogues. The stippled line shows the correlation for all compounds, the two grey lines connect the high affinity compounds (open squares) and the low-affinity compounds (open triangles), respectively, and the black line shows the correlation between the remaining compounds (black circles).

0.551), indicating a common binding mechanism for these compounds (see Discussion). p. 131, Discussion, paragraph 9, lines 14 –19 should read: The fact that the line correlating affinity with lipophilicity of these compounds has a slope of 0.551 indicates
only partial desolvation of the compounds, or in other words, that the four substituents of these ligands when located in the lipophilic binding site are still partly exposed to water (Leo and Hansch, 1999).
