Assay: Class B Enzyme Assay: The Class B enzyme activities were measured in the presence of the test inhibitor in a fluorescence assay against a commercially available substrate consisting of a cephalosporin core linking 7-hydroxycoumarin to fluorescein (CCF2-FA). The enzyme (NDM-1, IMP-1 or VIM-1) and the substrate were diluted in 100 mM KH2PO4 buffer (pH 7) containing 0.005% Tween-20 and 10 μM ZnSO4. In the assay, the final concentration of enzyme was 1 pM, 2 pM and 30 pM for NDM-1, IMP-1 and VIM-1, respectively, and the final concentration of CCF2-FA was 1.25 μM. The test inhibitor was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and diluted 1:50 in the assay, resulting in a final concentration range of 20 uM to 0.00063 uM. In a 384-well microplate, the test inhibitor was incubated with the metallo-β-lactamase enzyme and the substrate for 2 hours at 25° C. Fluorescence at 460 nm following excitation at 405 nm was measured. The IC50 value was determined from semi-logarithmic plots of enzyme inhibition versus inhibitor concentration, with a curve generated using a 4-parameter fit.

Target: Somatostatin receptor type 4 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P31391
Assay: cAMP ASSAY: The activation of the SSTR4 receptor (Gi coupled) causes an inhibition of intracellular cAMP after stimulation with Forskolin, which can be quantifiable by use of a suitable assay Kit and an adequate plate reader. This technique is used to characterize pharmacological effects of the SSTR4 receptor agonists by use of hSSTR4 expressing H4 cells.Compounds are dissolved and diluted in DMSO. The final test solution contains 1 DMSO. The cAMP standard (Lance cAMP 384 Kit; PerkinElmer, Cat #AD0264) is prepared in assay buffer (HBSS with 0.1% BSA, 5 mM HEPES, 0.5 M IBMX, pH 7.4) containing 1% DMSO and the cAMP standard curve is included at least on one plate. Cells are centrifuged and suspended in assay buffer (incl. 1:100 diluted Alexa antibody).For the assay 5 μl of a cell suspension (approximately 5000 cells/well) incl. Alexa antibody (diluted 1:100) are added into a 384 well MTP microtitre plate excepting one row or column (depending on the plate layout), which is reserved for the standard curve. Then 2 μl of compound sample is added as concentration response curve (e.g. 1e-5 M to 6e-10 M), usually in triplicates. Each assay contains incubations with vehicle controls instead of compound as controls for non-inhibited cAMP generation (100% CTL; high values) and incubations with 1 μM Somatosatin as controls for full inhibition and background (0% CTL; low values). After approximately 10-15 min incubation time 3 μl Forskolin (dissolved in DMSO, final conc. 15 μM) is added. Then the plates are shaken briefly and incubated for 60 min at room temperature. After 60 min 10 μl of the detection mix is added into all wells followed by an additional incubation period of 1 h. The plates are read in a suitable plate reader.The analysis of the data is based on the ratio of the time-resolved fluorescence measurements of donor and acceptor fluorophore (Ex: 320 nm; Em1: 665 nm; Em2: 615 nm; ratio 665/615). From this ratio, cAMP concentrations are calculated from standard curve and the EC50 is estimated by least square curve fit program.

Target: Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P35408
Assay: EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.

Target: Mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine-protein kinase BUB1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O43683
Assay: Kinase Assay: In a typical assay 11 different concentrations of each compound (0.1 nM, 0.33 nM, 1.1 nM, 3.8 nM, 13 nM, 44 nM, 0.15 μM, 0.51 μM, 1.7 μM, 5.9 μM and 20 μM) were tested in duplicate within the same microtiter plate. To this end, 100-fold concentrated compound solutions (in DMSO) were previously prepared by serial dilution (1:3.4) of 2 mM stocks in a clear low volume 384-well source microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), from which 50 nl of compounds were transferred into a black low volume test microtiter plate from the same supplier. Subsequently, 2 μL of Bub1 (the final concentration of Bub1 was adjusted depending on the activity of the enzyme lot in order to be within the linear dynamic range of the assay: typically 200 ng/mL were used) in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 200 mM potassium chloride (KCl), 1.0 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.1 mM sodium ortho-vanadate, 1% (v/v) glycerol, 0.01% (w/v) bovine serum albumine (BSA), 0.005% (v/v) Trition X-100 (Sigma), 1× Complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor mixture (Roche)] were added to the compounds in the test plate and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-equilibration of the putative enzyme-inhibitor complexes before the start of the kinase reaction, which was initiated by the addition of 3 μL 1.67-fold concentrated solution (in assay buffer) of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 10 μM final concentration) and peptide substrate (1 μM final concentration). The resulting mixture (5 μL final volume) was incubated at 22° C. during 60 min., and the reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 μL of an aqueous EDTA-solution (50 mM EDTA, in 100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 0.2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin) which also contained the TR-FRET detection reagents (0.2 μM streptavidin-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France] and 1 nM anti-phosho-Serine antibody [Merck Millipore, cat. #35-002] and 0.4 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody [Perkin-Elmer, product no. AD0077, alternatively a Terbium-cryptate-labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody from Cisbio Bioassays can be used]). The stopped reaction mixture was further incubated 1 h at 22° C. in order to allow the formation of complexes between peptides and detection reagents.

UniProt: Q9NWZ3
Assay: Kinase Assay: The kinase activity of IRAK4 is determined by its ability to catalyze the phosphorylation of a fluorescent polypeptide substrate. The extent of phosphorylation is measured using the IMAP technology (Molecular Devices) where the phosphorylated fluorescent substrate binds to the large M(III)-based nanoparticles which reduces the rotational speed of the substrate and thus increases its fluorescent polarization (FP).20 μL reaction mixture contains 10 mM TriHCl, pH 7.2, 0.5 nM GST tagged IRAK4 (SignalChem), 100 nM fluorescent peptide substrate (RP7030, Molecular Devices), 100 μM ATP, 1 mM DDT, 1 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% Tween 20. The reaction is initiated by the addition of ATP. After incubation for 30 minutes at 25° C., 60 μL of Progressive IMAP Reagent (Molecular Devices) is added to stop the reaction. Change in RP7030's FP is determined by a FP reader (Analyst HT, LJL BioSystems).

Assay: Competition Binding Assay: Competition binding assays used herein were developed, validated and performed as described in Fabian et al., Nature Biotechnology 2005, 23, 329-336. Kinases were produced as fusions to T7 phage (See, Fabian et al. or WO04/015142) or alternatively, the kinases were expressed in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for PCR detection (See, WO08/005310). For the binding assays, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated affinity ligands for 30 min at room temperature to generate affinity resins. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinase, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). Test compounds were prepared as 100× stocks in DMSO and rapidly diluted into the aqueous environment. DMSO was added to control assays lacking a test compound. Primary screen interactions were performed in polypropylene 384-well plates in a final volume of 34 μL, while Kd determinations were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 135 μL. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hour, long enough for binding reactions to reach equilibrium, and the affinity beads were washed extensively with wash buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20) to remove unbound protein. The beads were then resuspended in elution buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 2 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 min. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by quantitative PCR. Each kinase was tested individually against each compound. KdS were determined using eleven serial threefold dilutions.

Assay: General RORgamma SPA binding assay : The binding of potential ligands to RORγ is measured by competition with [3H]25-hydroxycholesterol (Perkin Elmer NET674250UC) using a scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The ligand binding domain of human RORγ (A262-S507) with an N-terminal His tag is expressed in E. coli and purified using nickel affinity chromatography. 15 μg/well RORγ (A262-S507) is incubated with test compound at varying concentrations in 3-fold serial dilution, with final concentrations ranging from 16.6 μM to 0.28 nM, for 10 min at rt in PBS buffer (Invitrogen #14190-144) containing 0.5% fatty acid free BSA (Gemini Bio-Products, Cat. #700-107P) and 0.1% glycerol (Sigma Cat#G5516). 10 nM of [3H] 25-hydroxycholesterol is then added, and the reaction is incubated for 10 min. 10 mg/mL of Copper-His Tag-PVT beads (Perkin Elmer cat # RPNQ0095) are added, and the mixture is incubated for 60 min. The reaction is read on a TopCount Microplate scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The competition data of the test compound over a range of concentrations was plotted as percentage inhibition of radioligand specifically bound in the absence of test compound (percent of total signal). After correcting for non-specific binding, IC50 values were determined. The IC50 value is defined as the concentration of test compound needed to reduce [3H] 25-hydroxycholesterol specific binding by 50% and is calculated using the four parameter logistic equation to fit the normalized data.

Concentration was determined in the spectrophotometer at 342 nm using an extinction coefficient of 8270. All other chemicals were of analytical grade.Human plasma kallikrein was purchased from Enzyme Research Labs (South Bend, Ind., USA, batch HPKa 2830). A stock solution of 7 μM in 50% glycerol was stored at −20° C.Enzyme reactions were conducted in assay buffer comprised of 20 mM HEPES at pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% PEG-8000 and 0.01% Triton X-100.Both enzyme and substrate were diluted in assay buffer.The compound solutions as well as the enzyme and the substrate solutions were transferred to 96-well plates (Clear, UV-Star, Flat-bottom, Half-Area plates; cat. No. 675801 Greiner Bio-one, purchased from VWR International, Arlington Heights, Ill., USA) using a Rainin LTS 96-channel pipettor (Rainin, Columbus, Ohio, USA). Plate measurements were conducted using a SPECTROStar Nano reader (BMG Labtech, San Francisco, Calif., USA). The SPECTROStar Nano is a spectrophotometer and absorbance was measured at 405 nm. We used discrete wavelength, precise, kinetic reads of 15 cycles with a 60 sec cycle time.Determination of IC50 valuesFor the determination of IC50 values, the assays were performed at room temperature in 96-well plates with a total assay volume of 85 μL per well. The test compound was dissolved in 100% DMSO. The compounds were serially diluted in DMSO in a 7 point dose response. For the assays, 66.5 μL of protease solution (protease in assay buffer) was added per well followed by the addition of 8.5 μL of compound in 100% DMSO. The final assay concentration of the human plasma kallikrein was 250 μM. After 30 min. incubation at room temperature on an orbital shaker, the reactions were started by the addition of 10 μL substrate solution (in assay buffer, final assay concentration was 600 uM). After the addition of the substrate solution the final DMSO concentration was 10%. The plate was placed again on the shaker for 5 sec, spun at 2000 rpm for 5 sec and read on the spectrophotometer. The effect of the compound on the enzymatic activity was obtained from the linear part of the progress curves and determined after 15 minutes.

Target: Toll-like receptor 7 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9NYK1
Assay: Inhibition Reporter Assay: HEK-Blue-cells (Invivogen) overexpressing human TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9 receptors were used for screening inhibitors of these receptors using an inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter gene under the control of the IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1-binding sites. Briefly, cells are seeded into Greiner 384 well plates (15000 cells per well for TLR7, 20,000 for TLR8 and 25,000 for TLR9) and then treated with test compounds in DMSO to yield a final dose response concentration range of 0.05 nM-50 μM. After a 30 minute compound pre-treatment at room temperature, the cells are then stimulated with a TLR7 ligand (gardiquimod at a final concentration of 7.5 μM), TLR8 ligand (R848 at a final concentration of 15.9 μM) or TLR9 ligand (ODN2006 at a final concentration of 5 nM) to activate NF-κB and AP-1 which induce the production of SEAP. After a 22 hour incubation at 37° C., 5% CO2, SEAP levels are determined with the addition of HEK-Blue Detection reagent (Invivogen), a cell culture medium that allows for detection of SEAP, according to manufacturer's specifications.

Target: Tryptophan 5-hydroxylase 1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P17752
Assay: Biochemical In Vitro Assay: To generate the enzyme, full length human TPH1 is cloned into the plasmid pET20b(+) (Novagen) and expressed in E. coli. The bacterial cells are ruptured by sonication on ice and the lysate is cleared by centrifugation. The resulting protein in the pellet is re-extracted and TPH1 is purified from the obtained lysate by affinity chromatography using a pterin cosubstrate analog immobilized to the resin of the column. The protein is further purified by size exclusion chromatography to remove protein aggregates. The activity of TPH1 is determined by using a fluorescence assay. The enzyme activity assay is carried out at 15° C. with atmosphere oxygen for the duration of 60 minutes in a volume of 64 μl. The reaction is carried out in a 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer, adjusted to pH 7.6, containing 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mg/mL catalase, 100 μM (±)-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterine dihydrochloride, 40 μM L-tryptophan, and 40-80 nM of TPH1. The reaction is started by bringing together L-tryptophan with all the other reaction substituents and stopped by quenching with perchloric acid (HClO4). The amount of 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan produced during the enzymatic reaction is determined by fluorescence readout. Fluorescence, as determined at 540 nm when excited at 300 nm wavelength, increases proportionally to the 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan formed. Compounds are prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 384-well plates using DMSO followed by a transfer of the dilutions into the assay plate. Fluorescence is measured for each well and the fluorescence at 540 nm wavelength is compared to the fluorescence of the vehicle in place of compound. Inhibitory activities of example compounds with respect to the TPH1 protein are determined by calculating the IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the enzyme activity).

UniProt: P24864
Assay: Biochemical Assay: The purpose of CDK2/Cyclin E1 assay is to evaluate the inhibition (% inhibition, Kiapp and Ki values) of small molecule inhibitors by using a fluorescence-based microfluidic mobility shift assay. CDK2/Cyclin E1 full length catalyzes the production of ADP from ATP that accompanies the phosphoryl transfer to the substrate peptide FL-Peptide-18 (5-FAM-QSPKKG-CONH2, CPC Scientific, Sunnyvale, Calif.) (SEQ ID NO:1). The mobility shift assay electrophoretically separates the fluorescently labeled peptides (substrate and phosphorylated product) following the kinase reaction. Both substrate and product are measured and the ratio of these values is used to generate % conversion of substrate to product by the LabChip EZ Reader. Wild-type CDK2/wild-type full length Cyclin E1 enzyme complex was produced in-house (baculoviral expression, LJIC-2080/LJIC-2103) and phosphorylated by CDK7/Cyclin H1/Matl enzyme complex with CDK2:CDK7 ratio of 50:1 (concentration mg/mL) in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2 and 5 mM ATP at room temperature for one hour. Typical reaction solutions (50 μL final reaction volume) contained 2% DMSO (±inhibitor), 4 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 150 μM ATP (ATP Km=67.4 μM), 0.005% Tween-20, 3 μM FL-Peptide-18, and 0.36 nM (catalytically competent active site) phosphorylated wild-type full length CDK2/Cyclin E1 enzyme complex in 25 mM HEPES buffer at pH 7.15. The assay was initiated with the addition of ATP, following a fifteen minutes pre-incubation of enzyme and inhibitor at room temperature in the reaction mixture. The reaction was stopped after 45 minutes at room temperature by the addition of 50 μL of 80 mM EDTA.

Assay: Intracellular Calcium Measurement to Assess Antagonist Activity at Human P2X3 and Human P2X2/3 Receptors: A fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLEX/FLIPR station; Molecular Devices) was used to monitor intracellular calcium levels using the calcium-chelating dye Fluo-4 (Molecular Probes). The excitation and emission wavelengths used to monitor fluorescence were 470-495 nm and 515-575 nm, respectively. Cells expressing purinergic receptors P2X3 (human) or P2X2/3 (human) were plated at a density of 15,000 cells/well in collagen-coated 384-well plates approximately 20 hours before beginning the assay. On the day of the assay, 20 μl of loading buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 5 mM probenecid, 10 mM D-glucose monohydrate, 2 μM Fluo-4, and 5 units/mL, hexokinase, pH=7.4) was added and cells dye-loaded for 90 min at 37° C. The dye supernatant was removed and replaced with 45 μl probenecid buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 5 mM probenecid, 10 mM D-glucose monohydrate, pH=7.4). The test compound was added in a volume of 5 μl and allowed to incubate for 30 min at 37° C. The final assay DMSO concentration is 1%. The agonist, α,β-Me-ATP, was added in a volume of 20 μl at a concentration representing the EC80 value. The fluorescence was measured for an interval of 90 sec at 2 sec intervals and analyzed based on the increase in peak relative fluorescence units (RFU) compared to the basal fluorescence. Peak fluorescence was used to determine the response to agonist obtained at each concentration of test compound by the following equation: % Response=100*(RFU(test compound)−RFU(control))/(RFU(DMSO)−RFU(control))The Examples were tested in triplicates per plate and mean values were plotted in Excel XLFit to determine IC50 values at the human P2X3 and human P2X2/3 receptors, percentage of maximal inhibition and the Hill coefficients.

Binding was performed in binding buffer (50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM EDTA, and 0.5% (wt/vol) fatty acid free BSA, pH 7.4 for CB1 receptor and 50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM EGTA, and 0.1% (wt/vol) fatty acid free BSA, pH 7.4 for CB2 receptor) in a total volume of 0.2 mL for 1 h at 30° C. shaking. The reaction was terminated by rapid filtration through microfiltration plates coated with 0.5% polyethylenimine (UniFilter GF/B filter plate; Packard). Bound radioactivity was analyzed for Ki using nonlinear regression analysis (Activity Base, ID Business Solution, Limited), with the Kd values for [3H]CP55,940 determined from saturation experiments.
Measurement: Ki = 630 nM (pChEMBL 6.199999809265137)

Assay: Human ENPP2 (hENPP2) Assay: Compound IC50 values are determined in a hENPP2 (UniProtKB/SwissProt Sequence ref Q13822) biochemical assay using LPC as substrate. 5 μL of a dilution series of compound, starting from 20 μM highest concentration, 1/5 dilution, is added to the wells. hENPP2 is used at a final concentration of 1 μg/mL or 3 μg/mL (it will be appreciated by the skilled person that the potency read out is independent of the enzyme concentration). The enzyme is diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.1% fatty acid free BSA in a total volume of 10 μL. the reaction is started by the addition of 10 μL of 150 μM LPC (palmitoyl 16:0) diluted in the same buffer as described above and the mixture is incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. The reaction is terminated and choline quantified by the addition of a 25 μL of a mixture containing 0.6 U/mL of choline oxidase, 0.6 U/mL of peroxydase, 1.8 mM TOOS, 1.2 mM amino-antipyrine, 20 mM EGTA (stop-developer solution) diluted in the buffer described above. Luminescence is read on the Envision after an incubation of 30 min at room temperature (Excitation 555 nm, excitation light=70%).
Measurement: IC50 = 750 nM (pChEMBL 6.119999885559082)
