| Description: | The PDE9A2 enzymatic activity assay was run as scintillation proximity assay (SPA), in general according to the protocol of the manufacturer (GE Healthcare, former Amersham Biosciences, product number: TRKQ 7100). As enzyme source, lysate (PBS with 1% Triton X-100 supplemented with protease inhibitors, cell debris removed by centrifugation at 13.000 rpm for 30 min) of SF 9 cell expressing the human PDE9A2 was used. The total protein amount included in the assay varied upon infection and production efficacy of the SF9 cells and lay in the range of 0.1-100 ng. In general, the assay conditions were as follows: total assay volume: 40 microlitre; protein amount: 0.1-50 ng; substrate concentration (cGMP): 20 nanomolar; ~1 mCi/l; incubation time: 60 min at room temperature; final DMSO concentration: 0.2-1%. The assays were run in 384-well format. The test reagents as well as the enzyme and the substrate were diluted in assay buffer. The assay buffer contained 50 mM Tris, 8.3 mM MgCl2, 1.7 mM EGTA, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20; the pH of assay buffer was adjusted to 7.5. The reaction was stopped by applying a PDE9 specific inhibitor (e.g. compounds according to WO 2004/099210 or WO 2004/099211, like one of the enantiomers of example 37, e.g. 1-(2-Chlorophenyl)-6-[2R)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methyl-propyl]-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-one) in excess. |
