| Description: | The affinity of compounds of the invention for the human NK-3 receptor was determined by measuring the ability of compounds of the invention to competitively and reversibly displace a well-characterized NK-3 radioligand in a concentration-dependent manner.3H-SB222200 Binding Competition Assay with Human NK-3 ReceptorThe ability of compounds of the invention to inhibit the binding of the NK-3 receptor selective antagonist 3H-SB222200 was assessed by an in vitro radioligand binding assay. Membranes were prepared from Chinese hamster ovary recombinant cells stably expressing the human NK-3 receptor. The membranes were incubated with 5 nM 3H-SB222200 (ARC) in a HEPES 25 mM/NaCl 0.1M/CaCl2 1 mM/MgCl2 5 mM/BSA 0.5%/Saponin 10 μg/ml buffer at pH 7.4 and various concentrations of compounds of the invention. The amount of 3H-SB222200 bound to the receptor was determined after filtration by the quantification of membrane associated radioactivity using the TopCount-NXT reader (Packard). |
