| | URAT1 In Vitro Inhibition Activity-Method A |
| Description: | Cells were seeded onto 24-well plates at the density of 2.0×105 cells per well. The cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 overnight. After approximately 24 hours culture, cells were used for uptake experiments. The culture medium were removed from the wells and the cells were incubated in 0.4 ml/well of Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) for 10 min. HBSS was replaced with 0.18 ml/well fresh HBSS. Compounds were 5 folds serial diluted in DMSO, and then 25 folds diluted in HBSS. Compounds diluted with HBSS (10 μl) were added to relevant well of cell plates, and plates were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 15 min. The final concentration of DMSO in the assay was 0.2%. 10 μl HBSS containing radioactively labeled Urate (14C-uric acid) was added to each well. The final concentration of 14C-uric acid in the assay medium was 50 μM. After 10 min, the assay medium was immediately removed. The cells were washed quickly with 0.5 ml pre-chilled HBSS twice. 0.1 M NaOH (0.4 ml) was added to lyse the cells for at least 20 min. The cell lysate was collected to a scintillation vial, and scintillant (4 ml) was added and the radioactivity was counted by a liquid scintillation counter. Inhibiton % data were calculated using the formulainhibition % = HC - CPD HC - LC × 100 , and analyzed using Prism 5 software .
