Description: | Compounds of this invention were assayed to determine their affinity for the A2A receptor in a pig striatum membrane prep. Briefly, 0.2 mg of pig striatal membranes were treated with adenosine deaminase (2 U/mL) and 50 mM Tris buffer (pH=7.4) followed by mixing. To the pig membranes was added 2 μL of serially diluted DMSO stock solution of the compounds of this invention at concentrations ranging from 10 nM to 100 microM or the control received 2 microL of DMSO alone, then the antagonist ZM 241385 in Tris buffer (50 mM, pH of 7.4) was added to achieve a final concentration of 2 nM. After incubation at 23° C. for 2 h, then the solutions were filtered using a membrane harvester using multiple washing of the membranes (3×). The filter disks were counted in scintillation cocktail to determine the amount of displacement of tritiated ZM displaced by the compounds of this invention. |
