| | Determining human Vmat2 Inhibitory Activity of a Compound |
| Description: | The human Ki's for the compounds listed in Table 11 were determined using a slightly modified procedure shown below (see data in column under the heading Ki nM ). In a total volume of 0.15 mL in low-binding 96-well plates (Corning #3605), twelve concentrations of Compound 1-1 and R,R,R-DHTBZ were competed against 10 nM 3H-dihydrotetrabenezine (American Radiolabeled Chemicals, Kd 2.6 nM) on rat forebrain homogenate (100 μg membrane protein per well) or human platelet homogenate (15 μg membrane protein per well) in VMAT2 binding buffer (Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). Following incubation at 25° C. for 90 minutes, bound radioligand was collected by rapid filtration onto GF/B glass fiber filters using a Unifilter-96 Harvester (PerkinElmer). Filter plates were pre-treated with 0.1% polyethylenimine and allowed to dry overnight, and following harvesting the filter plates were washed with 800 d VMAT2 binding buffer. Bound radioligand was quantified by scintillation counting using a Topcount NXT (PerkinElmer). |
