| Description: | To perform the assay, compounds of the invention to be tested were first solubilized in 100% DMSO and further diluted in 100% DMSO to generate, typically, a 10-point titration at half-log intervals such that the final assay concentrations did not exceed 10 μM of compound or 1% DMSO. 148 μL (135 μg/mL) membranes and 2 μL test compounds were transferred to individual wells of a 96-well polypropylene assay plate and incubated for 15 to 30 min at room temperature with agitation. Tritiated radioligand was diluted to a concentration of 14 nM in assay buffer (phosphate buffered saline without Magnesium and Calcium, pH 7.4; GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Cat. No. SH30256.01) and then 50 μL of the solution were transferred to each well of the assay plate. To define total and non-specific binding, wells containing 1% DMSO and 20 μM N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (Tocris Bioscience, Cat. No. 1691) respectively, were also included. The wells of the assay plate were incubated at room temperature for 60 min with agitation, then filtered using a FilterMate Harvester® (Perkin Elmer) or similar equipment through a UniFilter-96® PEI coated plate (Perkin Elmer Cat. No. 6005274 or 6005277). Filtering was achieved by aspirating the contents of the assay plate for 5 sec, then washing and aspirating the contents three times with ice-cooled wash buffer (assay buffer supplemented with 0.0025% Brij58) and allowing the vacuum manifold to dry the plate for 30 sec. The filter plate was incubated for at least 1 h at 55° C. and allowed to dry. The bottom of the filter plate was then sealed with backing tape. 40 μL Ultima Gold™ (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6013329) was added to each well of the filter plate and the top of the plate was sealed with TopSeal-A PLUS® clear plate seal (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6050185). |
