Assay: transient human FXR/Gal4-luciferase reporter assay: A Gal4-hFXR fusion construct reporter system was used as the primary assay to characterize compound activity. A construct including 5 copies of the Gal4 promoter response element upstream of a firefly luciferase reporter cDNA was stably expressed in HEK293 cells. This reporter cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco) supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin (P/S) solution, 500 μg/mL Zeocin and 10% charcoal/dextran-treated fetal bovine serum (cs-FBS) at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. Another plasmid was constructed in which the human cytomegalovirus promoter in the pcDNA3.1 vector directs the expression of the cDNA encoding a fusion protein comprised of the DNA binding domain from the Gal4 transcription factor fused to the ligand binding domain from human FXR.The day prior to transfection, the reporter cells in culture are detached from the plate with trypsin and plated into a T75 flask at a sufficient density to achieve approximately 90% confluence the next morning. The transfection reagents are prepared by separately diluting 25 μg of the pcDNA3.1-Gal4-FXR plasmid into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM (Thermo-Fisher), and 40 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo-Fisher) into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM, and then adding the diluted DNA solution into the diluted Lipofectamine 2000 solution and incubating at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. The mixture is further diluted with 10 mL of a solution comprised of DMEM, 10% cs-FBS, and 1% P/S immediately prior to transferring to the cells. The maintenance culture media is aspirated from the cells and the final transfection mixture is added before the cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. This protocol can be scaled up, and the transiently transfected cells can be cryopreserved in an assay-ready format.For compound testing, 100 nL of the compounds (serial dilutions in DMSO) are dispensed with an Echo acoustic dispenser (Labcyte) into the wells of a Corning/Costar clear bottom 384-well white plate. The transfected cells are harvested, counted, and diluted such that 10-25,000 cells in 25 μL are plated into each well of the 384-well compound assay plate. The compound-treated cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. The next morning 25 μL of Steady-Glo (Promega) are added to each well of the plate, the mixture is incubated for 15 min. with shaking, and luminescence is measured on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. Background counts from cells treated with DMSO alone are subtracted from all raw counts, and the corrected values are converted to a percentage of the control response attained with 8 μM GW-4064. These data are fit to a 4-parameter log agonist-response equation to calculate an EC50 value.

Assay: RET Enzyme Assay: The potency of compounds inhibiting several different RET kinase forms (Wild Type, V804M, M918T, G810R, & G810S) were determined using CisBio's HTRF Kinease-TK assay technology. The kinases were incubated with 250 nM TK-substrate biotin (CisBio, part of cat #62TK0PEC) at Km ATP along with test compounds in a buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 2% DMSO in a volume of 8 μL. Compounds were typically prepared as a three-fold serial dilution in DMSO and added to the assay to give the appropriate final concentration. After a 30-min incubation at 22° C., the reaction was quenched by adding 8 μL of quench solution containing 31.25 nM Sa-XL665 and 1× TK-Ab-Cryptate in HTRF detection buffer (all from CisBio, part of cat #62TK0PEC). After a 1 hour incubation at 22° C., the extent of reaction was determined using a PerkinElmer EnVision multimode plate reader via HTRF dual wavelength detection, and the percent of control (POC) was calculated using a ratiometric emission factor. One hundred POC was determined using DMSO only samples (no compound present), and 0 POC was determined using pre-quenched control reactions. A 4-parameter logistic curve was fit to the POC values as a function of the concentration of compound, and the IC50 value was the point where the best-fit curve crossed 50 POC.

UniProt: P03951
Assay: Factor XIa assay : The effectiveness of compounds of the present invention as inhibitors of the coagulation Factors XIa, VIIa, IXa, Xa, XIIa, plasma kallikrein or thrombin, can be determined using a relevant purified serine protease, respectively, and an appropriate synthetic substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of the chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate by the relevant serine protease was measured both in the absence and presence of compounds of the present invention. Hydrolysis of the substrate resulted in the release of pNA (para nitroaniline), which was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance at 405 nm, or the release of AMC (amino methylcoumarin), which was monitored spectrofluorometrically by measuring the increase in emission at 460 nm with excitation at 380 nm. A decrease in the rate of absorbance or fluorescence change in the presence of inhibitor is indicative of enzyme inhibition. Such methods are known to one skilled in the art. The results of this assay are expressed as the inhibitory constant, Ki.Factor XIa determinations were made in 50 mM HEPES buffer at pH 7.4 containing 145 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, and 0.1% PEG 8000 (polyethylene glycol; JT Baker or Fisher Scientific). Determinations were made using purified human Factor XIa at a final concentration of 25-200 pM (Haematologic Technologies) and the synthetic substrate S-2366 (pyroGlu-Pro-Arg-pNA; CHROMOGENIX or AnaSpec) at a concentration of 0.0002-0.001 M.

Assay: Binding Assay: The affinity of FXR ligands for the ligand binding domain of FXR was determined using a commercially available human FXR ligand binding assay (LanthaScreen, Thermofisher Cat # PV4833). The purified ligand binding domain of human FXR tagged with GST (glutathiones-S-transferase) is incubated with a terbium labelled anti-GLT antibody and a fluorescein-labelled SRC2-2 peptide (LKEKHKILHRLLQDSSSPV (SEQ ID NO.: 1)). Binding of FXR ligands to the FXR ligand binding domain promotes binding of the fluorescein-labelled SRC2-2 peptide. This causes a FRET signal between the terbium-labelled anti-GST antibody and the fluorescein-labelled SRC peptide which are both bound to the FXR ligand binding domain.Test compounds are dissolved in DMSO and a 3-fold serial dilution series is generated, then further diluted into assay buffer. The compounds are mixed with 5 nM GST-tagged FXR ligand binding domain, 5 nM Tb-labelled anti-GST antibody and 500 nM fluorescein-labelled SRC2-2 peptide in a pH7.4 buffer. The reaction is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, then the FRET signal is measured as the ratio of the 520 nm/495 nm emission following excitation at 340 nm. The change in FRET signal is plotted against the test article concentration and fit to a 3-parameter logistical equation.

Following the incubation period, reactions were stopped by adding 60 uL stop buffer consisting of 100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35 (30%), 0.277% Coating Reagent #3 (Caliper Life Sciences, Mountain View, Calif.), 5% DMSO. Stopped reactions were monitored at −2 PSI, −3000 V/−700 V in a LabChip 3000 plate reader from Caliper Life Sciences, a PerkinElmer Company (Hopkinton, Mass.), and the activity was measured by off-chip mobility shift assay measuring the charge/mass difference between substrate and product resulting from peptide phosphorilation. IC50 and efficacy were determined by plotting log [Inhibitor] vs. % Activity in GeneData Screener (Basel. Switzerland).

Assay: Biological Assay for TBK1 and IKKs: Enzymatic activity of IKKε and TBK1 was measured using a homogeneous time resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay that monitors enzyme dependent phosphorylation of a biotinylated serine/threonine peptide substrate. An increase in the amount of phopshorylated peptide results in an increase in TR-FRET signal. TBK1 and IKKs were expressed and purified as full length recombinant proteins. Detection reagents for the assay were purchased from Cisbio. TBK1 and IKKε enzymes were assayed under initial rate conditions in the presence of 2× Km ATP (40-80 μM) and 1 μM peptide, hepes (pH 7), 0.1 mM orthovanadate, 0.02% NaN3, 0.01% BSA, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% (v/v) tritonX, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5% (v/v) DMSO at the following concentrations for each enzyme: TBK1 at 2.5 nM and IKKε at 0.3 nM. After an assay reaction time of 240 minutes at 25° C., reactions were terminated with EDTA.Amount of phosphorylated peptide was determined by the addition of 125 nM streptavidin XL665 and europium cryptate labeled anti-phospho monoclonal antibody and the resulting TR-FRET signal was recorded on an Envision plate reader (Ex: 340 nm; Em: 615/665 nm; 100 μs delay and 200 μs read window).

Assay: LXR alpha/beta Radioligand Binding Assay: Compounds of the invention were assessed in a competition binding assay where different concentrations of compounds were incubated with the LXR ligand binding domain (LBD) in the presence of radiolabeled LXR ligand [3H]TO901317. The amount of the LXR-LBD that complexed with [3H]T0901317 was measured by scintillation proximity assay (SPA) employing non-specific binding of LXR-LBD to poly-lysine coated Yttrium silicate beads. Partially purified LXR α or β LBD protein (15-45 nM) was incubated at rt for 30 min with 15 nM [3H]TO901317 (25-40 Ci/mmol) and different concentrations of test compounds in 80 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer containing 2.5% DMSO, 1% glycerol, 2 mM EDTA, 2 mM CHAPS and 5 mM DTT in 96-well plates. Poly-lysine SPA beads (50 μg) were added to each well and the total volume was adjusted to 120 μL. The plates were shaken on an orbital shaker for 20 min and then allowed to settle for 10 more min at rt before a brief centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 1 min. The SPA signal was measured on a MicroBeta® liquid scintillation counter (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.), and the results were used for calculating IC50 values based on the total binding (DMSO control) and non-specific binding (5 μM of unlabeled TO901317) controls. The Ki values were calculated according to equation 1, where [RL] is the final concentration of [3H]TO901317 in the assay, and the Kd values of 20 nM and 10 nM of TO901317 for LBDs of LXRα and LXRβ, respectively, were determined by direct titration of the radioligand with these proteins.

Target: Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta isoform (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O00329
Assay: Biochemical Assay: This assay was developed and further optimized from a kit produced by Upstate (Millipore catalog #33-047) (Millipore Sigma, Billerica Mass., USA) and has been configured for high throughput screening (HTS) and structure-activity relationship (SAR) screening. Briefly, this procedure exploits the exquisite specificity and high affinity binding of enzyme reaction substrate phosphatidyl(3,4,5)triphosphate (PIP3) to the GRP1 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to generate the signal. In the absence of PIP3, an HTRF (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence energy transfer) complex is formed consisting of europium (u)-labeled anti-GST, GST tagged GRP1-PH domain, biotin-PIP3 (biotinylated-PIP3) and streptavidin conjugated APC (Allophycocyanin). The native PIP3 produced by PI3-Kinase activity disrupts in a competitive manner the biotin-PIP3 from the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, resulting in the loss of energy transfer (HTRF complex) and a decrease in the signal. The format of this assay is the same for all 4 isoforms of PI3K; the differences lie in the concentration of enzyme used to achieve robust assay window. The alpha, beta, and delta assays are run at 0.5, 1, and 0.3 nM enzymes and the gamma assay is run at 5 nM enzyme. The ATP concentration is 100 uM in the alpha, beta, and delta assays and 50 uM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the gamma assay. All reactions are run at 5 uM PIP2.

BTK enzyme (8 nM final in reaction), inhibitor (at requested doses), and 0.2 mg/mL peptide substrate (Poly-Glu-Tyr, 4:1 ratio) are incubated in a reaction buffer composed of 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO for 15 min. followed by addition of 1 μM ATP to start the assay. Kinase reactions are carried out for 120 min. at room temperature. The reaction was stopped by spotting of reaction sample onto P81 cationic exchange paper (Whatman). Unbound phosphate was removed by extensive washing of filters in 0.75% Phosphoric acid. After subtraction of background derived from control reactions containing inactive enzyme (via addition of saturating EDTA), kinase activity data for each dose of compound tested was expressed as the percent of remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) reactions.

UniProt: P51948
Assay: Biochemical Assay: The ability of compounds to inhibit CDK7 kinase activity was tested in a TR-FRET assay using 5 nM of CDK7/CycH/MNAT1 obtained from Invitrogen, USA. Test compounds were pre-incubated with the kinase at room temperature for 60 min. After the incubation, substrate mix [100 nM Ultra-light MBP (Perkin Elmer, USA) and 1 mM ATP (Sigma)] was added. The above reaction was stopped by the addition of 40 mM EDTA after 60 minutes of kinase reaction. 1 nM Eu-labelled antiphospho-MBP antibody [Perkin Elmer, USA] was added, mixed well and the fluorescence emission at 615 nm and 665 nm [excitation at 340 nm] was measured. The final DMSO concentration in the assay was 1%. For IC50 determination, appropriate concentrations were made by ⅓rd serial dilutions of 10 mM DMSO stock solution of test compound. All the fluorescence measurements were made in a Victor 3 Multilabel Counter [Perkin Elmer, USA]. The IC50 was determined by fitting the dose response data to sigmoidal curve fitting equation using GraphPad Prism software V5. To identify compounds that inhibit CDK7 irreversibly, time depended inhibition studies were carried by pre-incubating compound with the enzyme at three time points (20, 60 and 180 min) and carrying out assay as described above.

UniProt: P05089
Assay: Biological Activity of Examples 1 to 30: The inhibitory effects of Examples 1 to 30 on the activity of Human Arginase 1 and Arginase 2 activity were quantified by measuring the formation of the thiol group from thioarginine using recombinant Arginase 1 or Arginase 2 produced from E. coli. The thiol group was detected with Ellman's reagent, 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). DTNB reacts with the thiol to give the mixed disulfide and 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid (TNB) which is quantified by the absorbance of the anion (TNB2−) at 412 nm.The assays were run in clear 384 well plates (Greiner cat no: 781101). Various concentrations of Examples 1 to 30 in 300 nL DMSO were dispensed to assay plates using an Echo acoustic dispenser immediately followed by plate sealing and centrifugation. Two pre-mixes were prepared from reagents thawed immediately before addition to assay plates. Pre-mix one comprised human Arginase 1 or human Arginase 2, at a final concentration of 5 nM and 0.5 mM DTNB in assay buffer, 45 mM HEPES pH7.5, brij 35, 0.045% (w/v) and 100 μM MnCl2. Pre-mix two comprised freshly thawed 0.5 mM thioarginine in assay buffer. Fifteen microlitres of pre-mix one was dispensed to assay plates containing Examples 1 to 30, centrifuged and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to adding fifteen microlitres of pre-mix two.Assay plates were centrifuged prior to reading absorbance at 412 nm in a Pherastar multi-mode plate reader to collect data at time point 0 (T0). The plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 min prior to reading again to collect data at time point 1 (T1). Data is derived by subtracting the A412 signal measured at T0 (time point 0) from that measured at T1 (time point 1). The data was transformed to % effect using the equation:Compound % effect=100*[(X−min)/(max−min)], where X represents the normalized value for the compound based on the Min (vehicle) and Max (reference compound) inhibition control.

Assay: Enzymatic Inhibition Assay: 11-point dosing series were made for each compound by serially diluting 1:3 or 1:4 in DMSO, with point 12 being a DMSO control. From the serial dilution plates, sample was transferred to a 384 wells assay plate (#781280, Greiner, Monroe, N.C.) using Labcyte Echo (Sunnyvale, Calif.), or Biosero ATS (San Diego, Calif.). The compounds were tested in duplicate. Column 12 was used for positive controls, and column 24 contained negative controls with no enzyme added. A compound from our internal collection, with inhibitory activity for JAK isoforms, was used as a reference compound. The final concentration of DMSO was ≤0.25% in a 20 μL reaction. Assay conditions for each of the proteins are summarized in Table 3. The enzyme reaction was initiated by the addition of 10 μL of 2× enzyme and ATP mixture to 10 μL of 2× substrate solution prepared in reaction buffer (50 mM MOPS pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 0.002% Tween-20). The Tyk2 enzyme was pre-incubated with 2 mM ATP for 30 min prior to the reaction initiation. Immediately after the addition of the enzyme to the reaction mixture, the plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute and incubated at 25° C. for 45 minutes for JAK 3 and 90 minutes for JAK1, JAK2 and Tyk2. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 20 μL of 0.5% TFA containing 0.15 μM of internal standard peptide using Multidrop Combi reagent dispenser (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). Several wells in column 24 were typically used for the product standard curve. After the quench, the assay plate was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes and sealed with pierceable aluminum foil (Cat #06644-001, Agilent) using a PlateLoc (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Calif.). The plates then were transferred on to the RapidFire for the MS analysis. Compound inhibition was assessed by a decrease of the phosphorylated product levels in sample wells compared to the non-inhibited enzyme reaction.

Assay: Biochemical Assay: The biochemical assay is in a AlphaScreen format. The kinase reaction is based on the IRAK-4 phosphorylation of a biotin labeled peptide. The phosphopeptide is incubated with anti-phosphothreonine antibody as well as streptavidin- and protein A-coated beads. Binding of the protein-A coated beads to the antibody and the streptavidin beads to the peptide, leads to an energy transfer from one bead to the other, ultimately producing a luminescent/fluorescent signal.Generally, the kinase reaction is carried out at 1 nM IRAK4, 1.6 μM peptide, 10 μM ATP in reaction buffer 50 mM Hepes, 60 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.25 mM MnCl2, 2 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, 0.01% Tween-20) for 3.5 h at RT.

Assay: transient human FXR/Gal4-luciferase reporter assay: A Gal4-hFXR fusion construct reporter system was used as the primary assay to characterize compound activity. A construct including 5 copies of the Gal4 promoter response element upstream of a firefly luciferase reporter cDNA was stably expressed in HEK293 cells. This reporter cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco) supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin (P/S) solution, 500 μg/ml Zeocin and 10% charcoal/dextran-treated fetal bovine serum (cs-FBS) at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. Another plasmid was constructed in which the human cytomegalovirus promoter in the pcDNA3.1 vector directs the expression of the cDNA encoding a fusion protein comprised of the DNA binding domain from the Gal4 transcription factor fused to the ligand binding domain from human FXR.The day prior to transfection, the reporter cells in culture are detached from the plate with trypsin and plated into a T75 flask at a sufficient density to achieve approximately 90% confluence the next morning. The transfection reagents are prepared by separately diluting 25 μg of the pcDNA3.1-Gal4-FXR plasmid into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM (Thermo-Fisher), and 40 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo-Fisher) into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM, and then adding the diluted DNA solution into the diluted Lipofectamine 2000 solution and incubating at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. The mixture is further diluted with 10 mL of a solution comprised of DMEM, 10% cs-FBS, and 1% P/S immediately prior to transferring to the cells. The maintenance culture media is aspirated from the cells and the final transfection mixture is added before the cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. This protocol can be scaled up, and the transiently transfected cells can be cryopreserved in an assay-ready format.For compound testing, 100 nL of the compounds (serial dilutions in DMSO) are dispensed with an Echo acoustic dispenser (Labcyte) into the wells of a Corning/Costar clear bottom 384-well white plate. The transfected cells are harvested, counted, and diluted such that 10-25,000 cells in 25 μL are plated into each well of the 384-well compound assay plate. The compound-treated cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. The next morning 25 μL of Steady-Glo (Promega) are added to each well of the plate, the mixture is incubated for 15 min. with shaking, and luminescence is measured on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. Background counts from cells treated with DMSO alone are subtracted from all raw counts, and the corrected values are converted to a percentage of the control response attained with 8 μM GW-4064. These data are fit to a 4-parameter log agonist-response equation to calculate an EC50 value.

Controls consisted of assays that did not contain compound, and backgrounds consisted of assays that contained enzyme and substrate but had EDTA from the beginning of the reaction to inhibit kinase activity. Compounds were tested in dose-response format, and the inhibition of kinase activity was calculated at each concentration of compound. The inhibition data were fit using a curve-fitting program to determine the IC50; i.e., the concentration of compound required to inhibit 50% of kinase activity.

Assay: BEAS-2B NQO1 MTT Assay: NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), also called DT diaphorase, is a homodimeric FAD-containing enzyme that catalyzes obligatory NAD(P)H-dependent two-electron reductions of quinones and protects cells against the toxic and neoplastic effects of free radicals and reactive oxygen species arising from one-electron reductions. The transcription of NQO1 is finely regulated by Nrf2, and thus NQO1 activity is a good marker for Nrf2 activation. On day one, frozen BEAS-2B cells (ATCC) are thawed in a water bath, counted, and re-suspended at a concentration of 250,000 cells/mL. Fifty microliters of cells are plated in 384 well black clear-bottomed plates. Plates are incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 overnight. On day two, plates are centrifuged and 50 nL of compound or controls are added to the cells. Plates are then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 48 h. On day four, medium is aspirated from the plate and crude cell lysates are made by adding 13 μL of 1× Cell Signaling Technologies lysis buffer with 1 Complete, Mini, EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor Tablet (Roche) for each 10 mL of lysis buffer. After lysis plates are incubated for 20 min at room temperature. Two microliters of lysate are removed for use in Cell Titer Glo assay (Promega) and MTT cocktail is prepared (Prochaska et. al. 1998) for measurement of NQO1 activity. Fifty microliters of MTT cocktail is added to each well, plate is centrifuged, and analyzed on an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) using Absorbance 570 nm label for 30 min. Product formation is measured kinetically and the pEC50 of NQO1 specific activity induction is calculated by plotting the change in absorbance (Delta OD/min) versus the log of compound concentration followed by 3-parameter fitting.

Assay: PDK1 kinase assay: PDK1 (amino acids 51-359) and AKT2 (amino acids 140-467 fused to PIFtide, amino acids EEQEMFRDFDYIADW) were expressed as N-terminally tagged GST fusion proteins in insect cells and purified to homogeneity. Enzyme activity was determined in a coupled PDK1/AKT/FAM-crosstide assay and phosphorylation of FAM-crosstide was determined by standard IMAP protocol (Molecular Devices). For inhibition studies, compounds were titrated 4-fold in DMSO and diluted 40-fold into assay buffer (10 mM Tris HCl pH7.2; 10 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Triton X-100; 1 mM DTT) containing PDK1, AKT2, and FAM-crosstide (final concentrations: 0.75 nM PDK1, 10 nM unphosphorylated AKT2, and 100 nM crosstide substrate). The kinase reaction was initiated by adding ATP to a final concentration of 40 μM of PDK1 and incubated at 25° C. for 30 min. To detect assay product, the kinase reaction was combined with Progressive Binding Solution (1:600 Progressive Binding Reagent, 50% Buffer A, 50% Buffer B, Molecular Devices) in a 1:3 ratio. The mixture was incubated for 2 hours at 25° C. and the plate was scanned on an Analyst AD with excitation at 485 nm and emission at 530 nm. The fluorescence polarization value P is defined by the equation below. The value mP is generated by multiplying the P value for each reaction well by a factor of 1000. The value ΔmP for each well is the mP value for that well minus the mP value for the average negative control. P=(Fpar−Fperp)/(Fpar+Fperp)  Eq.:Where par is fluorescence intensity parallel to the excitation plane; and perp is fluorescence intensity perpendicular to the excitation plane. ΔmP values were plotted as a function of compound concentration and the data were analyzed with a 4-parameter fit using GraphPad Prism software.

Assay: Biochemical TR-FRET assay: The compounds of the invention inhibit RORgammaT activity. Activation of RORgammaT activity can be measured using, e.g., a biochemical TR-FRET assay. In such an assay, interaction of cofactor-derived peptides with human RORgammaT-Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) can be measured. The TR-FRET technique is a sensitive biochemical proximity assay that will give information concerning the interaction of a ligand with the LBD, in the presence of cofactor-derived peptides (Zhou et al., Methods 25:54-61, 2001).To identify novel antagonists of RORgammaT, an assay was developed which employs the interaction of RORgammaT with its co-activator peptide SRC1_2. This peptide mimics the recruitment of co-activators to RORgammaT through its interaction with the LXXLL (SEQ ID NO:1) (e.g., NR box) motifs (Xie et al., J. Immunol. 175: 3800-09, 2005; Kurebayashi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 315: 919-27, 2004; Jin et al., Mol. Endocrinology 24:923-29, 2010). The RORγ-Ligand Binding Domain TR-FRET Assay was run according to the following protocol.HIS-tagged RORγ-LBD protein was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli. The RORγ-LBD protein was purified by Ni2+-affinity resin. Purified protein was then diluted in assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.0, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM DTT, 100 μg/mL bovine serum albumin, delipidated) to obtain a RORγ-LBD final concentration of 3 nM. Europium tagged anti-HIS antibody was also added to this solution (1.25 nM). Separately, SF9 cells not expressing any recombinant protein were lysed (32,000 cells per μl in 25 mM Tris, 50 mM NaCl) and the previously frozen lysate was added to the diluted RORγ-LBD solution at a ratio of 0.75 μl SF9 lysate per 15 μl of diluted RORγ-LBD.
