| | FLIPR Tetra Assay |
| Description: | IC50 (effective concentration) of compounds on the human and rat TRPA1 channels were determined using a FLIPR Tetra instrument. CHO cells expressing TRPA1 were plated into 384-well plates, incubated overnight at 37° C., and loaded with BD calcium indicator dye for 1 hr at 37° C. followed by 15 minutes. at room temperature. The assay buffer was Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) containing 20 mM HEPES (pH readjusted to 7.4) along with 0.02% BSA.Following dye load and plate cool down, compounds were added to the cells using FLIPR Tetra. Plates were then incubated with compounds for 20 minutes at room temperature prior to adding agonist. Following this incubation, EC80 concentration of cinnamaldehyde (75 uM for human TRPA1 and 45 uM for rat TRPA1) was added to active the channels and block of cinnamaldehyde induced calcium influx was measured. |
