Target: Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P29597
Assay: TYK2 JH2 Domain Binding Assay: The binding reaction was assembled by combining 16 μl of DNA-tagged kinase extract, 3.8 μl liganded affinity beads, and 0.18 μl test compound (PBS/0.05% Tween 20/10 mM DTT/0.1% BSA/2 μg/ml sonicated salmon sperm DNA)]. Extracts were used directly in binding assays without any enzyme purification steps at a ≥10,000-fold overall stock dilution (final DNA-tagged enzyme concentration <0.1 nM). Extracts were loaded with DNA-tag and diluted into the binding reaction in a two step process. First extracts were diluted 1:100 in 1× binding buffer (PBS/0.05% Tween 20/10 mM DTT/0.1% BSA/2 μg/ml sonicated salmon sperm DNA) containing 10 nM DNA-tag. This dilution was allowed to equilibrate at room temperature for 15 minutes and then subsequently diluted 1:100 in 1× binding buffer. Test compounds were prepared as 111× stocks in 100% DMSO. Kds were determined using an 11-point 3-fold compound dilution series with three DMSO control points. All compounds for Kd measurements are distributed by acoustic transfer (non-contact dispensing) in 100% DMSO

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.

Assay: MNK2a In Vitro Kinase Assay (Assay 2): ASSAY SETUP: The inhibition of kinase activity of MNK2a was assessed using pre-activated GST-MNK2a. The white, 384-well OptiPlate F plates were purchased from PerkinElmer. The ADP-Glo Kinase Assay (including ultra pure ATP) was purchased from Promega (V9103). Activated MNK2a was obtained as described in WO2011/104340. The unlabeled eIF4E peptide (NH2-TATKSGSTTKNR-CONH2), differing from Seq. ID No. 5 of WO 2011/104340 by the C-terminal CONH2 group, was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. All other materials were of highest grade commercially available. Compounds are tested in either serial dilutions or single dose concentrations. The compound stock solutions are 10 mM in 100% DMSO The serial compound dilutions are prepared in 100% DMSO followed by 1:27.3 intermediate dilution in assay buffer. The final DMSO concentration in assay will be <3%.In the 384-well plates 3 μl of test compound from the intermediate dilutionis mixed with 4 μl of the activated MNK2 enzyme (final concentration of 10 nM) and 4 μl of the peptide (final concentration of 25 μM)/ultra pure ATP (final concentration of 20 μM), all dissolved in assay buffer. This step is followed by an incubation time of 90 min, then 10 μl of ADP Glo reagent are added, followed by 40 min of incubation. Then 20 μl of kinase detection reagent are admixed. The plates are sealed and after an incubation period of 30 min, the luminescence signal is measured in an Envision reader to determine the amount of produced ADP. All incubation steps are performed at room temperature.The assay buffer consists of 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, 20 mM MgCl2 and 0.1% Pluronic F-127.Each assay microtiter plate contains wells with vehicle controls instead of compound (1% DMSO in water) as reference for the high signal (100% CTL, high signal), and wells containing a potent MNK2 inhibitor (final 20 μM, 1% DMSO) as reference for low signal (0% CTL, low signal).The luminescent signal generated is proportional to the ADP concentration produced and is correlated with activated MNK2 activity. The analysis of the data is performed by the calculation of the percentage of ATP consumption of activated MNK2 in the presence of the test compound compared to the consumption of ATP in the presence of activated MNK2 without compound. RLU(sample)−RLU(low control))*100/(RLU(high value)−RLU(low control)) [RLU=relative luminescence units]An inhibitor of the MNK2 enzyme will give values between 100% CTL (no inhibition) and 0% CTL (complete inhibition). Values of more than 100% CTL are normally related to compound/sample specific physico-chemical properties (e.g. solubility, light absorbance, fluorescence).IC50 values based on dose response curves are calculated with the AssayExplorer software.

Assay: In Vitro Assays: The effectiveness of compounds of the present invention as ROCK inhibitors can be determined in a 30 μL assay containing 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 0.015% Brij-35, 4 mM DTT, 5 μM ATP and 1.5 μM peptide substrate (FITC-AHA-AKRRRLSSLRA-OH (SEQ ID NO: 1)). Compounds were dissolved in DMSO so that the final concentration of DMSO was <2%, and the reaction was initiated with Rho kinase variants. After incubation, the reaction was terminated by the addition of EDTA and the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides separated using a LABCHIP® 3000 Reader (Caliper Life Sciences). 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.

Target: Glutaminase kidney isoform, mitochondrial (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O94925
Assay: Enzymatic Activity Assay: The inhibition of purified recombinant human GAC by varying concentrations of inhibitors is assessed via a dual-coupled enzymatic assay. The glutamate produced by the glutaminase reaction is used by glutamate oxidase to produce α-ketoglutarate, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide, with this hydrogen peroxide subsequently being used by horseradish peroxidase to produce resorufin in the presence of Amplex UltraRed. The assay buffer consisted of 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 0.25 mM EDTA and 0.1 mM Triton X-100. GAC was incubated with potassium phosphate (10 minutes at room temperature) prior to incubation with inhibitor (10 minutes at room temperature). The final reaction conditions were as follows: 2 nM GAC, 50 mM potassium phosphate, 100 mU/mL glutamate oxidase (Sigma), 1 mM glutamine (Sigma), 100 mU/mL horseradish peroxidase (Sigma), 75 μM Amplex UltraRed (Life Technologies), and 1% (v/v) DMSO. The production of resorufin was monitored on a Perkin Elmer Envision plate reader (excitation 530 nm, emission 590 nm) either in a kinetics or endpoint mode (at 20 minutes). IC50 values were calculated using a four-parameter logistic curve fit.

Assay: PDE4 Assay: The human PDE4D catalytic domain (UniProt no. Q08499 [S380-L740]) was incubated with a mixture of non-labelled cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and fluorescein amidite (FAM) conjugated cAMP and titrated test or reference Compound. Following brief incubation the enzymatic reaction was stopped by addition of binding buffer containing nanoparticles with immobilized trivalent metal ions capable of binding 1) AMP phospho groups and 2) terbium (Tb) donor fluorophores. Subsequent excitation of the Tb donor triggers time-resolved FRET to adjacent FAM acceptor molecules resulting in light emission. In the presence of a PDE4 inhibitor, AMP generation was reduced resulting in a lower fluorescence signal. The cAMP phosphodiester is not bound by the detection system.The results were calculated as the molar concentrations resulting in 50% inhibition of the substrate cleavage compared to controls samples, and are expressed as a range of IC50 (nM).

Assay: Radioligand Binding Assay on Rat TAAR1: HEK-293 cells stably expressing rat TAAR1 were maintained at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in DMEM high glucose medium, containing fetal calf serum (10%, heat inactivated for 30 min at 56° C.), penicillin/streptomycin (1%), and 375 μg/ml geneticin (Gibco). Cells were released from culture flasks using trypsin/EDTA, harvested, washed twice with ice-cold PBS (without Ca2+ and Mg2+), pelleted at 1,000 rpm for 5 min at 4° C., frozen and stored at −80° C. Frozen pellets were suspended in 20 ml HEPES-NaOH (20 mM, pH 7.4) containing 10 mM EDTA and homogenized with a Polytron (PT 6000, Kinematica) at 14,000 rpm for 20 s. The homogenate was centrifuged at 48,000×g for 30 min at 4° C. Subsequently, the supernatant was removed and discarded, and the pellet resuspended in 20 ml HEPES-NaOH (20 mM, pH 7.4) containing 0.1 mM EDTA using the Polytron (20 s at 14,000 rpm). This procedure was repeated and the final pellet resuspended in HEPES-NaOH containing 0.1 mM EDTA and homogenized using the Polytron. Typically, aliquots of 2 ml membrane portions were stored at −80° C. With each new membrane batch the dissociation constant (Kd) was determined via a saturation curve. The TAAR1 radioligand 3[H] (S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine (described in WO 2008/098857) was used at a concentration equal to the calculated Kd value, that was usually around 2.3 nM, resulting in the binding of approximately 0.2% of the radioligand and a specific binding representing approximately 85% of the total binding. Nonspecific binding was defined as the amount of [H] (S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine bound in the presence of 10 M unlabeled ligand. All compounds were tested at a broad range of concentrations (10 pM to 10 μM) in duplicates. The test compounds (20□ μl/well) were transferred into a 96 deep well plate (TreffLab), and 180 μl of HEPES-NaOH (20 mM, pH 7.4) containing MgCl2 (10 mM) and CaCl2 (2 mM) (binding buffer), 300 μl of the radioligand 3[H]¿(S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine at a concentration of 3.3×Kd in nM and 500 μl of the membranes (resuspended at 50 g protein per ml) added. The 96 deep well plates were incubated for 1 hr at 4° C. Incubations were terminated by rapid filtration through Unifilter-96 plates (Packard Instrument Company) and glass filters GF/C (Perkin Elmer) presoaked for 1 hr in polyethylenimine (0.3%) and washed 3 times with 1 ml of cold binding buffer. After addition of 45 μl of Microscint 40 (PerkinElmer) the Unifilter-96 plate was sealed and after 1 hr the radioactivity counted using a TopCount Microplate Scintillation Counter (Packard Instrument Company).

After incubation for 90 minutes at RT and centrifugation for 20 minutes at 500 rpm the signal rate was measured by means of a 1450 Microbeta Trilux ß-counter (PerkinElmer Life Sciences/Wallac. Turku. Finland). Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values reflecting 50% displacement of [3H]naloxone-specific receptor binding were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis and Ki values were calculated by using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.

Assay: Human P2X3 Receptor Inhibition Assay: Stably expressing cell line (C6BU-1 transfected with human P2X3 receptor gene (GenBank accession number Y07683) was used. 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.).

Compounds were dissolved in DMSO so that the final concentration of DMSO was <2%, and the reaction was initiated with Rho kinase variants. After incubation, the reaction was terminated by the addition of EDTA and the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides separated using a LABCHIP® 3000 Reader (Caliper Life Sciences). 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: 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: HTRF KinEASE Assay : ASK1 was purchased from Thermofisher (Catalogue #PV4011), ATP was purchased from Sigma (Catalogue #A7699), HTRF® KinEASE Assay System was obtained from Cisbio (Bedford, Mass.). ½ Area plate was purchased from Perkin Elmer (Catalogue ##6005560). HTRF® KinEASE-STK is a generic method for measuring serine/threonine kinase activities using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay. The IC50 value for each compound was determined in the presence of compound (various concentration from 0 to 10 μM) and a fixed amount of ATP and peptide substrates. The test compound, 1 μM STK3 peptide substrate, and 5 μM of ASK1 kinase are incubated with kinase reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES Ph 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA for 30 minutes. 100 μM ATP is added to start kinase reaction and incubated for 3 hours. The STK3-antibody labeled with Eu3+-Cryptate and 125 nM streptavidin-XL665 are mixed in a single addition with stop reagents provided by the Cisbio kit used to stop the kinase reaction. Fluorescence is detected using an Envision Multilabeled 2014 reader from PerkinElmer. The Fluorescence is measured at 615 nm (Cryptate) and 665 nm (XL665) and a ratio of 665 nm/615 nm is calculated for each well. The resulting TR-FRET is proportional to the phosphorylation level. Staurosporine was used as the positive control. IC50 was determined by Xlfit 5.3.

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: V9103X ADP-Glo Kinase Assay Custom: In a 384-well plate, test compound diluted in assay buffer (1% DMSO final) is mixed with 8His-RIPK2 FL enzyme (final concentration of 8 nM). After 15 minutes of pre-incubation at RT, ATP dissolved in assay buffer is added (final concentration 5 μM). The mixture is incubated for 60 minutes at 37° C. in a humidified incubator. Then, ADP Glo Reagent is added, followed by a 40 minute incubation at rt. Finally, Kinase Detection Reagent is added and the entire mixture is incubated for 40 min at RT. The luminescence signal is measured with an Envision reader to determine the amount of ADP produced. Assay buffer: 25 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinethanesulfonic acid), 0.1% BSA (bovine serum albumin), 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 50 mM KCl, 0.01% CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate), 10 μM Na3VO4, 1 mM DTT (dithiothreitol), pH 7.5 All plates contain wells with vehicle controls instead of compound (1% DMSO) as reference for the high signal (100% CTL (100% of control), high signal), and wells without enzyme as reference for low signal (0% CTL, low signal). The luminescent signal generated is proportional to the ADP produced and is correlated with enzyme activity. The analysis of the data is performed by the calculation of the percentage of ADP production in the presence of the test compound and RIPK2 as compared to the ADP production in the presence of RIPK2 plus 50 μM Gefitinib.

Assay: FGFR2 Kinase Assay: Small molecule inhibition of FGFR2 kinase activity was evaluated using a fluorescence-based microfluidic mobility shift assay. FGFR2 catalyzes the production of ADP from ATP during phosphoryl transfer to the substrate peptide, FLPeptide30 (5-FAM-KKKKEEIYFFFCONH2) (Perkin Elmer, 760430). The mobility shift assay electrophoretically separates the fluorescently labeled peptides (substrate and phosphorylated product) following the kinase reaction. Both substrate and product were measured and the ratio of these values used to generate % conversion of substrate to product by the LabChip EZ reader (Perkin Elmer). Wild type FGFR2 (Carna Bioscience, 08-134) at 0.06 nM was prepared with 1.5 μM substrate, 10 mM MgCl and 100 μM ATP in a butler containing 50 nM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Brij-35, 0.05% BSA, and 2 mM DTT prior to addition of compounds in DMSO and incubation for 80 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by addition of 0.5 MEDIA. IC50 values were calculated using the inhibition of conversion ratio using Dotniatics Knowledge Solutions Studies curve fitting (Dotmatics, Bishops Stortford, UK, CM23).

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.
