| Description: | Experimental materials: HEK/mGluR2 cell line (human GluR2 transfected HEK cell line), DMEM (FBS) medium, positive control LY487379 (purchased from sigma; CAS: to 352317-17-1)Experimental instrument: FLIPR Tetra real-time fluorescence imaging analysis systemExperimental method: HDB Fluo-8 calcium fluorescence detection methodExperimental principle: HDB Fluo-8 calcium ion fluorescence detection method is a fast, simple and reliable fluorescence detection method of intracellular calcium concentration changes. The Fluo 8-AM fluorescent dye is an acetyl methyl ester derivative of Fluo 8 which can easily penetrate into the cell membrane by culture. The fluorescent dye in the cell will be hydrolyzed by intracellular esterase, the resulting Fluo 8 as a polar molecule, cannot easily pass through the lipid bimolecular membrane, and will be retained in the cell, and combine with calcium (Ca2+) to produce fluoresces.Cells expressing GPCR receptor protein (mGluR2) were first calibrated with a calcium ion sensitive fluorescent probe and then stimulated with the compound. After stimulation, the receptor activates the calcium ion mobilization, and the fluorescent probe captures the calcium ion to induce the fluorescence signal. The signal can be read by a fluoroscopy plate. The fluorescent plate reader contains a sample addition for compound addition, thus enabling the change of the fluorescence value of the compound be read in real time. If the selected compound activates mGluR2, the calcium flow reaction can be greatly increased; conversely, if the selected compound is able to antagonize mGluR2, the calcium flow reaction can be greatly reduced. Experimental results indicate that the EC50 for mGluR2 of the compounds 1 to 106 of the present invention are between 0.02 μM-10 μM, preferably between 0.02 μM-1 μm. Further, the experimental results show that the activities of the fluorine-containing triazolopyridine compound 1-106 according to the present invention to mGluR2 is about 8-15 times higher than that of the fluorine-free triazolopyridine compound corresponding to each compound. |
