Assay: Fluorescence Polarization (FP): In a typical experiment the PDE2 inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present invention was determined in accordance with the following experimental method. Rhesus PDE2A3 was amplified from rhesus macaque brain cDNA (Biochain Institute, Hayward, Calif.) using primers based on human PDE2A sequence (accession NM_002599.3) where the forward primer containing a Kozak consensus was 5′-gccaccatggggcaggcatgtggc-3′ and the reverse primer was 5′-tcactcagcatcaaggctgca-3′. Amplification with Easy-A High-Fidelity PCR cloning enzyme (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) was 95° C. for 2 minutes followed by thirty three cycles of 95° C. for 40 seconds, 52° C. for 30 seconds, and 72° C. for 2 minutes 48 seconds. Final extension was 72° C. for 7 minutes. The PCR product was TA cloned into pcDNA3.3-TOPO (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) according to standard protocol. A consensus sequence was developed from multiple clones and then deposited into GenBank (EU812167). AD293 cells (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) with 70-80% confluency were transiently transfected with rhesus PDE2A3/pcDNA3.3-TOPO using Lipofectamine 2000 according to manufacturer specifications (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Cells were harvested 48 hours post-transfection and lysed by sonication (setting 3, 10×5 sec pulses) in a buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA and Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets (Roche, Indianapolis, Ind.). Lysate was collected by centrifugation at 75,000×g for 20 minutes at 4° C. and supernatant utilized for evaluation of PDE2 activity. The fluorescence polarization assay for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases was performed using an IMAP® FP kit supplied by Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif. (product # R8139). IMAP® technology has been applied previously to examine the effects of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (Huang, W., et al., J. Biomol Screen, 2002, 7: 215). Assays were performed at room temperature in 384-well microtiter plates with an incubation volume of 20.2 μL. Solutions of test compounds were prepared in DMSO and serially diluted with DMSO to yield 8 μL of each of 10 solutions differing by 3-fold in concentration, at 32 serial dilutions per plate. 100% inhibition is determined using a known PDE2 inhibitor, which can be any compound that is present at 5,000 times its Ki value in the assay described below, such as Bay 60-7550 (Ki-0.2 nM) at 1 μM concentration for 100% inhibition. Bay 60-7550 was obtained from Axxora via Fisher Scientific (cat# ALX-270-421-M025/cat# NC9314773). Put another way, any compound with Ki of 0.2 to about 2 nM could be used at 1 to 10 μM. 0% of inhibition is determined by using DMSO (1% final concentrations).

Assay: Evaluation of a Human P2X7 Receptor Inhibitory Activity: Stably expressing cell line (1321N1 cell transfected with the human P2X7 receptor gene (GenBank accession number NM_002562.5 including T606C and G952A SNP)) was used. The cells were seeded in a 384-well microtiter plate at a concentration of 8000 cells/well and cultured in the medium (10% fetal bovine serum, 25 mM HEPES, 1% penicillin and streptomycin in DMEM) for one day at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere. After replacing with 20 μL of the HBSS buffer (20 mM HEPES, 55.6 mM D-glucose, 1×HBSS(−), pH7.4-7.5), 15 μL of 17.3 μM Yo-Pro solution in the HBSS buffer was added. The plate was placed in high-throughput cellular screening system FLIPR TETRA (Molecullar Devices, LLC.) and 15 μL of 130 μM BzATP solution in the HBSS buffer was added. Measurement of fluorescence intensity by FLIPR TETRA was started. After eight minutes, 15 μL of DMSO solutions containing different concentrations of the compound of the present invention as prepared by dilution with the HBSS buffer were dispensed to each well through the built-in automatic dispenser, and the measurement of fluorescence intensity was continued for 20 minutes. The maximum fluorescence intensity without the compound of the present invention is calculated as 0% inhibition and the maximum fluorescence intensity when the reference compound was added is calculated as 100% inhibition. Changing values of fluorescence intensity by the compound of the present invention were calculated by difference between maximum and minimum fluorescence intensity for 20 minutes. IC50 was calculated using logistic approximation.

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.

Assay: Mass Spectrometry Assay: Compounds I-1 through I-50 of the invention were assayed in a mass spectrometric assay to measure their ability to covalently modify MK2 protein. The procedure for this assay follows. Intact MK2 protein (Invitrogen, Cat. No. PR5320A) was incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with a 10-fold excess of test compound to protein. Aliquots of the resulting mixture (6 μL each) were diluted with 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, 10 μL) prior to micro C4 ZipTipping directly onto the MALDI target using sinapinic acid as the desorption matrix (10 mg/ml in 0.1% TFA:acetonitrile 50:50, v/v). The centroid mass of the target protein in the control sample was compared with the centroid mass of the target protein incubated with compound. A shift in the centroid mass of the treated protein compared to the untreated protein was divided by the molecular weight of the compound. This number corresponds to the percentage of modified protein (a measure of the proportion of total target protein covalently bound to the test compound) after one hour incubation. Results from this assay are reported in Table A under the column ¿Mass Modification¿.

Assay: IRAK4 Biochemical Assay: IRAK4 enzyme (Carna Biosciences, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Japan) activity was measured by detecting phosphorylated peptide substrate formation using an antibody against the phosphorylated peptide substrate. This is a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay, based on the STK1 KinEASE Assay (Cisbio, Bedford, Mass.). The assay was designed as a simple two-step, endpoint assay (a 5 μl enzyme reaction followed by 5 μl stop and detect Solution) performed in ProxiPlate-384 Plus plates (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.). Staurosporine, a non-selective kinase inhibitor was used as a positive control. Compounds diluted in DMSO were spotted into 384 well plates using a Labcyte® Echo 550 Liquid Handling System prior to addition of IRAK4 enzyme and peptide substrate. Reaction solutions were delivered using a Multi-Flo (Bio-Tek Instruments). The enzyme and peptide solution was incubated with compound for 15 minutes at room temp before the reaction was initiated by the addition of ATP. The standard 5 μl reaction mixture contained 500 μM ATP, 2 μM peptide (STK1 Peptide), 0.75 nM of IRAK4 in reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 0.02% NaN3, 0.01% BSA, 0.1 mM Orthovanadate, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.025% NP-40, 1 mM DTT). After 120 min of incubation at room temperature, 5 μl of Stop and Detect Solution (1:100 Cryptate labeled anti-phosphorylated peptide antibody solution and 125 nM Tracer in a 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0 detection buffer containing sufficient EDTA) was added. The plate was then further incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature and read on Envision 2103 Multilabeled reader (PerkinElmer) with excitation/emission/FRET emission at 340 nm/615 nm/665 nm, respectively. Fluorescence intensities at 615 nm and 665 nm emission wavelengths were expressed as a ratio (665 nm/615 nm). Percentage of inhibition was calculated as below:% Inhibition=100×(RatioSample−Ratio0% Inhibition)/(Ratio100% Inhibition−Ratio0% Inhibition)The 0% inhibition value comes from control wells lacking inhibitor. The 100% inhibition value comes from control wells containing a saturating amount of known inhibitor staurosporine.

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: Glutamate NMDA receptor; GRIN1/GRIN2B (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q05586
Assay: NMDA receptor FLIPR assay: NMDA receptors are ion channels that are highly permeable to Ca2+ ions, rendering it possible to monitor NMDA receptor function using cell-based calcium flux assay. In this assay, co-agonists glutamate and glycine are added to cells heterologously expressing human GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptors to initiate cellular Ca2+ influx. The time course of the changes in intracellular calcium is measured using a fluorescent dye and a FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) device.Twenty four hours before measurements, the expression of the NMDA receptors in the stable cell line is induced with Tet-On inducible system in the presence of a non-selective NMDA receptor blocker. On the day of the experiment, cell culture media is carefully washed and the cells are loaded with Calcium 5 Dye Kit (Molecular Devices) in dye loading buffer containing 149 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, and 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4. After 1 h incubation at the room temperature, the dye is washed away with the assay buffer (149 mM NaCl (standard assay) or 150 mM (HTS assay), 4 mM KCl (standard assay) or 3 mM (HTS assay), 2 mM CaCl2, 0.01 mM EDTA, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4) In the FLIPR TETRA reader, various concentrations of the test compounds are added to the cells for 5 min while fluorescence is monitored to detect potential agonist activity. Next, co-agonists, glutamate and glycine are added for another 5 minutes. The concentration of glutamate corresponding to EC80 (standard assay) or EC40 (HTS assay) is used to maximize the assay's signal window or the ability to detect NMDA receptor antagonists and negative allosteric modulators, respectively.

Assay: mGluR5 FLIPR Assay: HEK293 (ZF) cells stably transfected with human mGluR5A (pIRES neo) and the rat glutamate-aspartate transporter (GLAST; pIRES puro) are grown in a monolayer culture at 37° C. in 5% CO2 and fed with Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% dialysed fetal bovine serum. 24 hours prior to assay, cells are enzymatically dissociated from the culture flask (Trypsin, 0.25%), spun down (1000 rpm, 3 min), resuspended, and plated on Greiner black clear bottomed PDL-coated 384-well plates at a density of 30 thousand cells/well. On the day of the experiment, media is removed from the cell plates and replaced with Molecular Devices Calcium 4 microfluorometric Ca++ sensitive dye in assay buffer (HBSS; Gibco #14025+20 mM HEPES and 250 uM probenacid). Plates are incubated in dye at 37° C. in 5% CO2 for 60 minutes prior to delivery of test compounds in assay buffer. Test compounds are incubated with cells in the presence of dye for 10 minutes prior to being read on the FLIPR platform (Molecular Devices). A Ca++ signal is induced in the assay plates via the delivery of an ¿EC10 concentration of the endogenous agonist 1-glutamate; images are acquired at 1 Hz for 100 seconds post-delivery of agonist stimulus. Positive modulator activity (i.e. the ability of test compounds to increase the Ca++ response to a sub-maximal concentration of agonist) is normalized to a saturating concentration of a known mGluR5 PAM run in each assay plate.

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).

Assay: TLR7/8/9 Inhibition Reporter Assays: 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. The percent inhibition is determined as the % reduction in the HEK-Blue signal present in wells treated with agonist plus DMSO alone compared to wells treated with a known inhibitor.
