UniProt: O43614
Assay: Measurement of Orexin Type 2 Receptor Agonist Activity: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) dhfr-cells forcibly expressing human orexin type 2 receptor (hOX2R) were seeded in each well of Black clear bottom plate (384 wells) (Becton, Dickinson and Company) by 10,000 cells, and cultured for 16 hr in an MEM-alpha (Nikken-Bio Co., Ltd.) medium containing 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.5 g/ml G418 (all above Invitrogen), and 10% fetal calf serum (Thermo), under the conditions of 37° C., 5% CO2. After removal of the medium, 30 μL of assay buffer 1 (0.1% bovine serum albumin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 1.25 mM probenecid, 10% B2-Quencher, 2.5 μg/mL Fluo-4AM, 10 mM HEPES (DOJINDO)) was added, and the cells were incubated for 60 min under the conditions of 37° C., 5% CO2. A test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to 10 mM, and then diluted with assay buffer 2 (20 mM HEPES, Hanks' balanced salt solution (Invitrogen), 0.1% bovine serum albumin). For the reaction, a test compound solution (10 μL) was added using Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader TETRA (FLIPR TETRA; manufactured by Molecular Devices), a fluorescence value (excitation wavelength 488 nm, measurement wavelength 570 nm) of each well was measured every one second for 1 min, and the agonist activity was determined using the area of the fluorescence value as an indicator of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The agonist activity of the test compound was calculated assuming that the fluorescence value of the well added with only the dilution buffer was 0% and the fluorescence value of the well added with 10 nM human orexin B (PEPTIDE INSTITUTE, INC.) buffer was 100%. The agonist activity values EC50 and Emax of each compound are shown below. As used herein, Emax indicates the value at 30 uM concentration when orexin B is converted to a full agonist (maximum value of agonist activity: 100%). As is clear from the results, the compound of the present invention was shown to have an agonist activity on hOX2R.

Assay: [35S]GTPgammaS Binding: The human APJ receptor was cloned by polymerase chain reaction and the gene encoding the receptor was subcloned in pFLAG-CMV-3 expression vector (Sigma, Saint Louis, Mo. USA) in-house at Amgen. A GTPγS binding assay was performed on membranes prepared from CHO cells stably expressing human APJ receptor. The optimum experimental conditions for the concentrations of GDP, MgCl2, and NaCl in the assay buffer were initially determined. The assay was performed in 9 μL assay buffer [20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl and 0.1% (w/v) BSA], 1 μL of diluted test compound (starting with 0.75 mM, 2-fold serial dilution with DMSO, total 22 points), 10 μL of 18 μM GDP (final concentration of 3 μM GDP), 20 μL of 0.25 μg/mL membrane protein expressing human APJ receptor captured with WGA PS beads (final concentration of 5 μg per well), and 20 μL of 0.3 nM [35S]GTPγS (final concentration is 0.1 nM [35S]GTPγS)(Perkin Elmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Waltham USA). One column of the plate was 1 μL of DMSO as background and another column of the plate was 1 μL of 180 μM Pyr-Apelin-13 which was used as control at a final concentration of 3 μM. Incubation was at RT for 90 min and the microplate was read using a ViewLux ultra HTS Microplate Imager (PerkinElmer, Inc.). All the results presented are means of several independent experiments and analyzed by non-linear regression methods using the commercially available program Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, Calif.) providing the EC50 values detailed in Table 40.

Target: Toll-like receptor 7 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9NYK1
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.

Target: Cyclin-dependent kinase 2/cyclin E1 (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
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.

Target: Nuclear receptor ROR-gamma (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P51449
Assay: Biological 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.

Assay: Enzymatic Assay: IDO1: Recombinant full-length human IDO1 with a N-terminal hexahistidine tag expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity is incubated at a final concentration of 2 nM in assay buffer consisting of 37.5 mM phosphate buffer at pH6.5 supplemented with 10 mM sodium L-ascorbate, 0.45 μM methylene blue, 50 U/ml catalase, 0.01% BSA, and 0.01% Tween 20 (protocol modified from Seegers et al, JBS 2014). Example compounds are serially diluted in DMSO, further diluted in phosphate buffer, and added to the enzyme at final concentrations ranging from 10 μM to 0.5 nM. The final DMSO concentration is 0.6%. Following a pre-incubation of 30 minutes at RT, the reaction is started by the addition of L-tryptophan at a final concentration of 5 μM in assay buffer. After 30 minutes of incubation at RT, 3 μL of the reaction mixture are transferred to a 384 deep well plate containing 25 μL of deionized water. 100 μl of 200 nM L-Tryptophan-(indole-d5) in cold 100% methanol are added followed by a 10 minutes centrifugation at 4,000 rpm at 4° C. An additional 75 μL of deionized water are then added and followed by a 10 minutes centrifugation at 4,000 rpm at 4° C. The product of the reaction N′-Formylkynurenine (NFK) is quantified by LCMS and normalized to the L-Tryptophan-(indole-d5) signal. Samples with 0.6% DMSO (0% effect) and a TDO/IDO inhibitor (100% effect) are used as control samples to set the parameters for the non-linear regression necessary for the determination of the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for each compound. For each compound concentration the percentage of activity compared to 0% and 100% effect is calculated as average ±STDEV (each concentration measured in duplicate). IC50 values and curves are generated with XLfit software (IDBS) using Dose-Response One Site model 203 (four parameter logistic curve model). When compounds are measured multiple times, mean values are given.

The cells were seeded in a 96-well microtiter plate at a concentration of 8000 cells/well and cultured in the medium (8.3% fetal bovine serum, 8.3% horse serum, 1% antibiotic and antifungal in DMEM) for one day at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere. The medium was replaced with 4 μM Fluo-3-AM solution (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, 10% BSA, and 0.08% Pluronic F-127, pH 7.5) and incubated at 37° C. under 5% dioxide carbon atmosphere for one hour. The plate was washed with washing buffer (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.5), each well was added with 40 μL of this buffer. The plate was placed in High-Throughput Screening System FDSS 3000 (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.). Measurement of fluorescence intensity by FDSS 3000 was started, and 40 μl, of DMSO solutions containing different concentrations of the test, compound as prepared by dilution with dilution buffer (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, 0.1.% Pluronic F-127, pH 7.5) were dispensed to each well through the built-in automatic dispenser. Five minutes after, 50 nM ATP solution (50 μL) prepared by dilution with the dilution buffer was dispensed through the built-in automatic dispenser, and the measurement of fluorescence intensity was continued for 3 min. For each well, the specific maximum fluorescence intensity was calculated as the ratio of the maximum fluorescence intensity after addition of the ATP solution to the fluorescence intensity at the starting of the measurement. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated under the assumption that the specific maximum fluorescence intensity without test compound is 0% inhibition and that the specific maximum fluorescence intensity when the dilution buffer was added in place of ATP solution is 100% inhibition, to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the test compound. FDSS software (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.) was used for calculation of the specific maximum fluorescence intensity. IC50 was calculated using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation) and Ltd.).

Assay: LC-MS/MS-Based NSD2 Enzymatic Assay: This assay employed LC-MS/MS technology to monitor the SAH production from the NSD2 enzymatic reaction. The enzymatic reaction was performed in white proxiplate plus 384-well microplate (Perkin Elmer). The reaction mixture (10 μL) were composed of 8 nM NSD2 [1-1365], 1 M SAM (USB, 10601) and 400 nM nucleosome (purified from mouse liver) in reaction buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH at 8.0, 0.01% Tween 20, 10 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM TCEP (pH7.5)). After 90 min incubation at room temperature, 3 μL quenching solution containing 2.5% TFA with 320 nM d4-SAH was added to stop the reaction.For the inhibition assay, compound solutions were transferred into the wells by Mosquito (TTP LabTech). The inhibition assays were carried out by preincubating various concentrations of the inhibitor with 5 uL reaction mixture containing 16 nM NSD2 [1-1365] and 2 uM SAM (USB, 10601) in reaction buffer. After 20 min preincubation, 5 uL solution containing 800 nM nucleosome (purified from mouse liver) in reaction buffer was added to initiate the reaction. The reaction was stopped by 3 μL quenching solution containing 2.5% TFA with 320 nM d4-SAH after 90 min.The SAH production from the enzymatic assays were monitored by LC-MS/MS on an API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spec with Turbolon Spray (Applied Biosystem) coupled with Prominenece UFLC(Shimazu). Liquid chromatography was performed on a Chromolith FastGradient HPLC column (RP-18e, 25-2 mm, from Merck) at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min. The column was connected directly to the turbo ion electrospray operating in the positive-ion mode. Mobile phase A is 0.1% FA and 2% methanol in water and mobile phase B is 0.1% FA in ACN. Injection volume was 3 μl and the autosampler was kept at 4 degree. SAH and d4-SAH were simultaneously monitored. Data were acquired and processed by Analyst software.To quantify the formed SAH, d4-SAH was added as internal standard (IS). A series of SAH (Sigma, A9384) solution at varying concentration (1-500 nM in reaction buffer) was mixed with quenching solution mentioned above. Then LC-MS/MS was carried out on API 4000 LC/MS/MS system to detect both SAH and d4-SAH. The plot of SAH peak area/IS peak area vs SAH concentration was used to generate the normalization factor of SAH. The SAH production from real enzymatic reaction was derived from the standard curve of SAH. The down-limit of our system for the detection of SAH is around 1-2 nM, and the linear range can reach up to 500 nM.

Assay: Intracellular cAMP Accumulation Assay: HEK293 cells stably expressing human APJ receptor were used to assess the activity of compounds. Cultured cells were detached and resuspended in the cAMP Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay buffer (Cisbio cat; #62AM4PEJ). The assay was performed in 384-well assay plates (Perkin-Elmer; cat #6008289) according to assay protocol provided by the manufacturer. Serial dilutions of a compound together with assay buffer containing 0.2 nM IBMX and 2 μM forskolin were added to each well containing 5,000 cells and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Subsequently, cAMP D2 reagent was added in the lysis buffer followed by the EuK antibody (Cisbio; cat #62AM4PEJ) and incubated for 60 min. The fluorescence emission ratio was measured using fluorometer. The intracellular cAMP concentrations (compound-stimulated inhibition of forskolin-mediated cAMP production) were calculated by extrapolation from a standard curve using known cAMP concentrations. The EC50 values were obtained by fitting the data to a sigmoidal concentration-response curve with variable slope. The maximal achievable inhibition of forskolin-induced cAMP levels (Ymax) for each compound was expressed as relative percentage of inhibition attained using pyroglutamated apelin-13 ((Pyr1)apelin-13) peptide, which was set to 100%.The examples disclosed below were tested in the APJ in vitro assays described above and were found having human APJ cyclic AMP (hcAMP) activity. The EC50 value of each compound is presented at the end of the example description.

Assay: Biochemical Assay: Assays for biochemical cell-based activity of c-kit kinase are known in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,498,342 and 7,846,941, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference as it relates to such assays. The c-kit (or kinase domain thereof) is an active kinase in AlphaScreen. IC50 values are determined with respect to inhibition of c-Kit kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested were dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 30 mM. These were diluted 30 μl into 130 μl of DMSO (4 mM) and 1 μl was added to an assay plate. These were then serially diluted 1:3 (50 μl to 100 μl DMSO) for a total of 8 points. Plates were prepared such that each kinase reaction is 30 μl in 1× kinase buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 0.01% NP-40, 0.2% BSA), 5% DMSO and 10 μM ATP. Substrate was 100 nM biotin-(E4Y)3 (Open Source Biotech, Inc.). C-kit kinase was at 0.1 ng per sample. After incubation of the kinase reaction for 1 hour at room temperature, 5 μl of donor beads (Streptavidin coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 1 μg/ml) in stop buffer (50 mM EDTA in 1× kinase buffer) was added, the sample was mixed and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before adding 5 ml of acceptor beads (PY30 coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 1 μg/ml) in stop buffer. The samples were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature and the signal per well was read on AlphaQuest reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY30 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity.

UniProt: Q06187
Assay: Human BTK LanthaScreen Assay: TR-FRET LanthaScreen assays were performed by incubating a dilution series of inhibitor concentrations with 50 μM ATP, 100 nM FAM-Srctide peptide substrate (5FAM-GEEPLYWSFPAKKK-NH2, SEQ ID NO: 1, Molecular Devices, RP7595) and 70 μM of human full-length BTK Kinase (expressed in Sf9 insect cells and purified in-house). The assays were performed with and without pre-incubating the inhibitors with the enzyme for 60 minutes before starting the kinase reaction by adding ATP and the peptide substrate. Samples containing enzyme but no inhibitor were included to determine the maximal extent of reaction. Samples containing no enzyme served as the negative control. The kinase reaction mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes before stopping the kinase activity by the addition of 15 mM EDTA. The extent of peptide phosphorylation by BTK was detected using a Terbium-conjugated anti-phospho-Tyrosine antibody (Tb-PT66 antibody, invitrogen # PV3557). Phosphorylation of peptide substrate was measured by determining the ratio of 520/495 nm on an Envision Multi-label Reader (Perkin Elmer) and IC50 values were calculated by fitting the data to a four-parameter equation using XLFit4 (IDBS).

Assay: TR-FRET Binding Assay: A Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) assay that measures the displacement of the 10mer-Thr-FAM probe in response to compound treatment was performed for compounds wherein the IC50 from FPA assay using 10mer-Thr-FAM was below the lower assay IC50 limit 1 nM. Excess 10mer-Thr-FAM probe was utilized with His-tagged WDR5 in conjunction with a commercial anti-His antibody containing a Terbium label. The LanthaScreen Elite Tb-anti-HIS Antibody from ThermoFisher Scientific was used for this purpose. This Tb-anti-HIS has an excitation/emission of 340 nm and 490 nm, respectively. The 10mer-Thr-FAM probe when bound to WDR5 will undergo a FRET interaction with the Tb-anti-HIS and emit at 520 nm. The ratio of the 520 and 495 signals are then utilized to generate a dose-response curve to calculate an IC50 value. By virtue of FRET there is little to no background fluorescence interference from 10mer-Thr-FAM probe allowing an excess of the probe to be used permitting an increase in the lower limit of the calculated Ki when testing against highly potent inhibitors with Ki<<1 nM. WDR5-His Tag (423, residues 24-334) is expressed and purified in our lab in sufficient quantities for screening. 10mer-Thr-FAM peptide is used anywhere from 15 to 150 nM depending on the window of sensitivity required. WDR5-His tag protein is used at 2 nM. A source plate is prepared using an Echo Liquid Handler, which distributes the compounds to the assay plate (white, flat-bottom; OptiPlate) in a 10-point, 3-fold dilution schemes with a top concentration of either 5 or 20 μM depending on the anticipated potency of the compounds, in a final volume of 20 μL. A final target (WDR5)/Tb-Ab concentration of 2 nM/1 nM is dispensed from appropriate stock solutions, respectively. The final DMSO concentration in each well of the assay plate is 1% or lower. As before the plate is covered, shielded from light, and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with rocking. Anisotropy is then measured on a Biotek Cytation 3 at excitation wavelength of 340 nm, and emission wavelengths of 495 nm and 520 nm. Working buffer conditions (pH 7.0) are similar to that in FPA above. TR-FRET signal is plotted and IC50 and Ki values are calculated in the same manner as the fluorescence polarization anisotropy based competition assays.

Assay: In Vitro Enzymatic BACE1 and BACE2 FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) Assays: The cDNAs for both human recombinant BACE1 and 2 with C-terminal 6-His Tags were cloned into transient protein expression vectors, which were subsequently transfected into mammalian cell lines. These recombinant proteins were further purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography (Qiagen). The assay buffer used in these screens was 0.05M acetate, pH 4.5, 8% DMSO final, 100 uM genapol (which is a nonionic detergent, below its Critical Micelle Concentration). The Beta Secretase enzyme (0.02 nM for BACE1 and 0.64 nM for BACE2) is pre-incubated for one hour with inhibitors, typically in about 1 uL of DMSO according to a serial dilution, are added thereto. This assay is effectively started by the addition of FRET substrate (50 nM) and the combination is incubated for one hour. The FRET assay is terminated by addition of Tris buffer, which raises the pH to neutrality, and the fluorescence is determined. The FRET substrate is a peptide with commercially available fluorophore and quencher, on opposite sides of the BACE cleavage site. Proteolytic cleavage of the FRET substrate releases quenching of fluorescence (excitation 488 nm and emission 590 nm).

Assay: fluorescence polarization competition assay (FPCA): Molecular modeling and SILCS functional group affinity mapping (FragMaps) of the Mcl-1 binding site indicated that the carboxylic acid of designed molecule 3a (FIG. 1C) would occupy an energetically favorable region, associated with a salt bridge interaction with R263 of the Mcl-1 binding site, while the ring of the naphthyl core would bind in the p3 pocket demarcated by a favorable non-polar FragMap. The aniline was directed into the hydrophobic p2 pocket, which is also demarcated by a nonpolar FragMap. With the molecular modeling data in hand, compound 3a was then synthesized according to Scheme 1-2.Briefly, commercially available 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (4) was regioselectively 4-chlorosulfonylated to yield 5, which was isolated by pouring over ice and used without further purification. Sulfonyl chloride 5 was next reacted with 4-bromoaniline to furnish the target molecule 3a in excellent overall yield (83%). Evaluation of 3a in a fluorescence polarization competition assay (FPCA) indicated that it disrupted the Mcl-1-Bak-BH3 PPI with an IC50 of 10.9 μM, corresponding to a Ki of 2.76 μM. Given the ability of 3a to inhibit Mcl-1, a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was developed, the results of which are presented in the tables below.

The growth medium was exchanged with Krebs Ringer Bicarbonate buffer with 1 mM IBMX and incubated at 30° C. for 30 min. Compounds were added to a final assay volume of 100 ul and incubated for 30 min at 30° C. Using the cAMP-Nano-TRF detection kit the assay (Roche Diagnostics) was stopped by the addition of 50 ul lysis reagent (Tris, NaCl, 1.5% Triton X100, 2.5% NP40, 10% NaN3) and 50 ul detection solutions (20 uM mAb Alexa700-cAMP 1:1, and 48 uM Ruthenium-2-AHA-cAMP) and shaken for 2 h at room temperature. The time-resolved energy transfer is measured by a TRF reader (Evotec Technologies GmbH), equipped with a ND:YAG laser as excitation source. The plate is measured twice with the excitation at 355 nm and at the emission with a delay of 100 ns and a gate of 100 ns, total exposure time 10 s at 730 (bandwidth 30 nm) or 645 nm (bandwidth 75 nm), respectively. The FRET signal is calculated as follows: FRET=T730-Alexa730-P(T645-B645) with P=Ru730-B730/Ru645-B645, where T730 is the test well measured at 730 nM, T645 is the test well measured at 645 nm, B730 and B645 are the buffer controls at 730 nm and 645 nm, respectively. cAMP content is determined from the function of a standard curve spanning from 10 uM to 0.13 nM cAMP. EC50 values were determined using Activity Base analysis (ID Business Solution, Limited). The EC50 values for a wide range of cannabinoid agonists generated from this assay were in agreement with the values published in the scientific literature. The compounds of the invention are CB2 receptor agonists with EC50 below 1 uM and selectivity versus CB1 in the corresponding assay of at least 10 fold.
