Target: Protein O-GlcNAcase (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O60502
Assay: Assay for Determination of KI Values for Inhibition of O-GlcNAcase Activity : Experimental procedure for kinetic analyses: Enzymatic reactions were carried out in a reaction containing 50 mM NaH2PO4, 100 mM NaCl and 0.1% BSA (pH 7.0) using 2 mM 4-Methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide dihydrate (Sigma M2133) dissolved in ddH2O, as a substrate. The amount of purified human O-GlcNAcase enzyme used in the reaction was 0.7 nM. Test compound of varying concentrations was added to the enzyme prior to initiation of the reaction. The reaction was performed at room temperature in a 96-well plate and was initiated with the addition of substrate. The production of fluorescent product was measured every 60 sec for 45 min with a Tecan Infinite M200 plate-reader with excitation at 355 nM and emission detected at 460 nM, with 4-Methylumbelliferone (Sigma M1381) used to produce a standard curve. The slope of product production was determined for each concentration of compound tested and plotted, using standard curve fitting algorithms for sigmoidal dose response curves. The values for a four parameter logistic curve fit of the data were determined. KI values were determined using the Cheng-Prusoff equation; the Km of O-GlcNAcase for substrate was 0.2 mM. Many compounds of the invention exhibit KI values for inhibition of O-GlcNAcase in the range 0.1 nM-10 μM. The KI values for the compounds of the examples are shown in the table below. The following table shows representative data for the compounds of the Examples as determined by the assay described herein.

Target: Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P35408
Assay: Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1. Test for Antagonism (Figures Per Well of a 384-Well Plate):4 μl of a cAMP-d2/cell suspension (625 000 cells/ml) were added to a test plate with the substance solutions (0.05 μl; 100% DMSO, concentration range 0.8 nM-16.5 μM) already charged. After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl). The reaction was then stopped by addition of 2 μl of lysis buffer and the mixture was incubated at RT for a further 20 min prior to the actual measurement (volume: 8 μl).

Assay: Binding Assay: Preparation of membranes containing recombinantly expressed sodium channels: Frozen recombinant cell pellets were thawed on ice and diluted to 4 times the cell pellet weight with ice cold 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 buffer. The cell suspensions were homogenized on ice using a motorized glass dounce homogeniser. Homogenates were further diluted 8.4 times with ice cold 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 buffer and then centrifuged at 200×g at 4° C. for 15 min. The supernatants were collected and centrifuged at 10000×g at 4° C. for 50 min. The pellets were then re-suspended in 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 buffer containing 1% v/v protease inhibitors (Calbiochem) and re-homogenized on ice. The homogenized membranes were then processed through a syringe equipped with a 26 gauge needle. Protein concentrations were determined by Bradford Assay and the membranes were stored at −80° C.Radioligand Binding Studies: Saturation experiments. A representative compound of formula (I) was tritiated. Three tritiums were incorporated in place of methyl hydrogens to generate [3H]compound. Binding of this radioligand was performed in 5 mL borosilicate glass test tubes at room temperature. Binding was initiated by adding membranes to increasing concentrations of [3H]compound in 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 buffer containing 0.01% w/v bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 18 h. Non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 1 μM unlabelled compound. After 18 h, the reactants were filtered through GF/C glass fiber filters presoaked in 0.5% w/v polyethylene imine. Filters were washed with 15 mL ice cold 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 buffer containing 0.25% BSA to separate bound from free ligand. [3H]compound bound to filters was quantified by liquid scintillation counting.Competitive binding experiments. Binding reactions were performed in 96-well polypropylene plates at room temperature for 18 h. In 360 μL, membranes were incubated with 100 pM [3H]compound and increasing concentrations of Test Compound. Non-specific binding was defined in the presence of 1 μM unlabelled compound. Reactions were transferred and filtered through 96-well glass fiber/C filter plates presoaked with 0.5% polyethylene imine. The filtered reactions were washed 5 times with 200 μL ice cold buffer containing 0.25% BSA. Bound radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation counting.

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.

UniProt: Q06124
Assay: Inhibition Assay: SHP2 is allosterically activated through binding of bis-tyrosyl-phorphorylated peptides to its Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains. The latter activation step leads to the release of the auto-inhibitory interface of SHP2, which in turn renders the SHP2 protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) active and available for substrate recognition and reaction catalysis. The catalytic activity of SHP2 was monitored using the surrogate substrate DiFMUP in a prompt fluorescence assay format.The inhibition of SHP2 by compounds of the disclosure (concentrations varying from 0.003-100 μM) was monitored using an assay in which 0.25 nM of SHP2 was incubated with of 0.5 μM of peptide IRS1_pY1172(dPEG8)pY1222 (sequence: H2N-LN(pY)IDLDLV(dPEG8)LST(pY)ASINFQK-amide) After 30-60 minutes incubation at 25° C., the surrogate substrate DiFMUP (Invitrogen, cat #D6567, 100 μM final) was added to the reaction and the conversion of DiFMUP to 6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxyl-4-methyl coumarin (DiFMU) was monitored continuously for 10 minutes with excitation at 355 nm and emission at 460 nm using a microplate reader (PolarStar, BMG).

Assay: PI 3-Kinase HTRF Assay: Briefly, the assay is a time resolved FRET assay that indirectly measures PIP3 product formed by the activity of a PI3-K. The kinase reaction is performed in a microtitre plate (e.g., a 384 well microtitre plate). The total reaction volume is approximately 20 ul per well. In the first step, each well receives 2 ul of test compound in 20% dimethylsulphoxide resulting in a 2% DMSO final concentration. Next, approximately 14.5 ul of a kinase/PIP2 mixture (diluted in 1x reaction buffer) is added per well for a final concentration of 0.25-0.3 ug/ml kinase and 10 uM PIP2. The plate is sealed and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. To start the reaction, 3.5 ul of ATP (diluted in 1x reaction buffer) is added per well for a final concentration of 10 uM ATP. The plate is sealed and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction is stopped by adding 5 ul of Stop Solution per well and then 5 ul of Detection Mix is added per well. The plate is sealed, incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, and then read on an appropriate plate reader.

Assay: LRRK2 Assay: LRRK2 kinase activity was measured using Lantha Screen technology from Invitrogen. GST-tagged truncated LRRK2 from Invitrogen (Cat #PV4874) was incubated with a fluorescein-labeled peptide substrate based upon ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM), also known as LRRKtide (Invitrogen cat #PR8976A), in the presence of a dose response of compound. Upon completion, the assay was stopped and detected with a terbium labeled anti-phospho-ERM antibody (Invitrogen, cat #PR8975A). The assay was carried out under the following protocol: The compound dose response was prepared by diluting compound to a top concentration of 0.3 mM in 100% DMSO and serial diluted by half-log in DMSO to give an 11 point curve, 100× final assay concentration. Using Echo acoustic dispensing, 60 nL of compound was transferred to a low volume Corning 384-well assay plate. 3 μL of a working solution of substrate (200 nM LRRKtide, 2 mM ATP) prepared in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 3 mM MgCl2, with 2 mM DTT and 0.01% Brij35 added fresh) was added to the 60 nL compound assay plate. The kinase reaction was started with 3 μL of a working solution of LRRK2 enzyme at a concentration of 4 μg/m L. The final reaction concentrations were 100 nM LRRKtide, 1 mM ATP, 2 μg/mL LRRK2 enzyme and a compound dose response with a top dose of 3 μM. The reaction was allowed to progress at room temperature for 30 minutes and then stopped with the addition of 6 μL of detection buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.6, 0.01% NP-40, 6 mM EDTA with 2 nM terbium labeled antiphospho-ERM). After an incubation of 1 hour at room temperature, the plate was read on an Envision with an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and a reading emission at both 520 nm and 495 nm. The ratio of the 520 nm and 495 nm emission was used to analyze the data. Inhibition of mutant G2019S LRRK2 (Invitrogen cat #PV4881) was measured in the exact same method. All final concentrations of substrate ATP and enzyme were the same.

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.

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). Data was normalized based on a positive (1 μM Staurosporine) and negative (DMSO) controls and IC50 values calculated from the fit of the dose-response curves to a four-parameter equation. All IC50 values represent geometric mean values of a minimum of four determinations.

Assay: High-Throughput Cav2.2/Kir2.3 T-Type Fluorescent Assay: Cells were plated in 384-well, clear-bottom, black-walled, poly-D-lysine coated plates (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lake, N.J.) 2 days prior to use in the FLIPR assay. 100 μL of cells (1.4×106 cell/mL) containing doxycyline (Sigma-Aldrich, 1.5 μg/mL; to induce channel expression) were added to each well using a Multidrop (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) and were maintained in 5% CO2 incubator at 37° C. On the morning of the assay, cells were transferred to a 5% CO2 incubator at 29° C. Cells can then be washed with a wash buffer containing (in mM): 118 NaCl, 18.4 HEPES, 11.7 D-glucose, 2 CaCl2, 0.5 MgSO4, 4.7 KCl, 1.2 KH2PO4, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH. 4.4 μM of the fluorescent indicator dye, Fluo-4 (Invitrogen), prepared in pluronic acid (Sigma-Aldrich), were loaded into the wells and incubated for 45 minutes at 29° C. in 5% CO2. Cells were then rinsed with either a 2 mM KCl closed-state buffer (in mM: 138.5 NaCl, 10 HEPES, 10 D-glucose, 1 CaCl2, and 2 KCl, with the pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) when performing the closed-state assay or 12.5 mM KCl inactivated-state buffer (in mM: 128 NaCl, 10 HEPES, 10 D-glucose, 1 CaCl2, and 12.5 mM KCl, with the pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) when performing the inactivated-state assay. Concentration-dependent response curves were generated from 5 mM stock solutions prepared in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich) and diluted in either the 2 mM KCl buffer or 12.5 mM KCl buffer and incubated for 20 minutes at 29° C. in 5% CO2.

Assay: cAMP Assay: CHO cells expressing human CB1 or CB2 receptors are seeded 17-24 hours prior to the experiment 50.000 cells per well in a black 96 well plate with flat clear bottom (Corning Costar #3904) in DMEM (Invitrogen No. 31331), 1x HT supplement, with 10% fetal calf serum and incubated at 5% CO2 and 37° C. in a humidified incubator. 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.

Assay: Time-Resolved Fluorescence Energy Transfer (TR-FRET Tracer A): To determine of binding activity of the test compounds, full-length human ATR protein was expressed and purified together with ATRIP as described above. Furthermore, a fluorescently labelled compound (tracer A) was used as a tracer molecule. Detection of the binding event of the tracer was achieved by time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET). We used an anti-GST-Terbium antibody (CisBio) that binds to the GST-tag at the N-terminus of ATR-kinase. Excitation of Terbium with 337 nm light results in emission of fluorescent light with 545 nm. In case a tetrameric complex has formed (antiGST-Tb+GST-ATR+Strp2-ATRIP+tracer), part of the energy will be transferred from the Terbium to the fluorophore that itself emits light of 570 nm. Displacement of the fluorescent tracer by a test compound leads to a reduction of the TR-FRET-signal.For the assay 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into a black low volume 384well microtiter plate (MTP, Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). To prepare the ATR-working solution, ATR/ATRIP stock solution was diluted in assay buffer [50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% (w/v) Igepal, 0.01% (w/v) BSA] to 4.2 nM protein concentration (concentration may vary from lot to lot of protein preparation). AntiGST-Tb antibody was diluted to 4.2 nM. The ATR-working solution was incubated for 30 min at 22° C. prior to dispensing to pre-form the complex of antiGST-Tb+GST-ATR+ATRIP. Then, 3 μl of the ATR-working solution were added to the test compound and the mixture was incubated for 10 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to ATR/ATRIP. Then, 2 μl of a 100 nM solution of either tracer A or B in assay buffer were added to the ATR-working solution. The resulting mixture was incubated for 30 min at 22° C. The measurement of the TR-FRET signal was performed in a standard HTRF-compatible MTP reader instrument (e.g. BMG Pherastar) by recording the fluorescence emissions at 545 nm and 570 nm after excitation at 337-350 nm. The ratio between emission at 570 nm divided by emission at 545 nm was calculated to give the well ratio. The experimental data (well ratios) were normalised by the following way: positive control contained ATR-working solution plus either tracer A or B solution (=0% inhibition), the negative control contained all components except GST-ATR/ATRIP (=100% inhibition).

Assay: Measurement of Inhibitory Activity Against RET (In Vitro): Regarding the conditions for measurement of in vitro inhibitory activity of compounds against RET kinase activity, the website of AnaSpec states that Srctide (GEEPLYWSFPAKKK) corresponds to the substrate peptide for reaction to measure RET kinase activity. Thus, the amino acid sequence was partly modified and biotinylated to prepare biotinylated peptides (biotin-EEPLYWSFPAKKK). The purified recombinant human RET protein used in the test was purchased from Carna Biosciences, Inc.To measure the inhibitory activity, first, the compounds of the present invention were individually diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) stepwise. Subsequently, RET protein, the substrate peptide (the final concentration: 250 nM), magnesium chloride (the final concentration: 10 mM), ATP (the final concentration: 10 μM), and a solution of the compound of the present invention in DMSO (the final concentration of DMSO: 2.5%) were added to a buffer for kinase reaction (13.5 mM Tris, pH of 7.5, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.009% Tween-20). Each of the mixtures was incubated at 25° C. for 100 minutes to perform a kinase reaction. EDTA was then added thereto to give a final concentration of 24 mM so that the reaction was terminated. A detection solution containing Eu-labeled antiphosphotyrosine antibody PT66 (PerkinElmer) and SureLight APC-SA (PerkinElmer) was added thereto, and each mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 hours or more. Finally, the intensity of fluorescence under the excitation light with a wavelength of 337 nm was measured with a PHERAstar FS (BMG Labtech) at the two wavelengths of 620 nm and 665 nm. The phosphorylation level was calculated from the ratio of the fluorescence intensity at the two wavelengths, and the compound concentration at which phosphorylation was inhibited by 50% was defined as the IC50 value (nM).

The reactions employed a common peptide substrate, LCB-EQEDEPEGDYFEWLW-NH2 (in-house). The basic assay protocol is as follows: First, 250 nL of diluted compounds in DMSO were dispensed into the wells of a dry 384-well Black plate (Greiner #781076) using a Labcyte Echo 555 acoustic dispenser. Subsequent reagent additions employed an Agilent Bravo. Next, 18 μL of 1.11× enzyme and 1.11× substrate in 1× assay buffer (Invitrogen kinase buffer #PV3189, 2 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA) were added to the wells and shaken and then preincubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow compound binding to equilibrate. After equilibration, 2 μL of 10×ATP in 1× assay buffer was added to initiate the kinase reaction and the plates were shaken and then incubated at room temperature for 120 minutes. At the end of the incubation, 20 μL of 2× stop buffer (streptavidin-Dylight 650 (Thermo #84547B/100 mL), Eu-tagged pY20 antibody (Perkin Elmer #AD0067), EDTA, HEPES, and Triton) was added to quench the reaction. Plates were shaken and centrifuged and then incubated 60 minutes at room temperature and then read on a Perkin Elmer Envision (λex=337 nm, λem=665 and 615 nm, TRF delay time=20 μs). HTRF signal=10,000*665 nm reading/615 nm reading. After normalization to untreated controls, the percent inhibition of the HTRF signal at each compound concentration was calculated.

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 ((Pyrl)apelin-13) peptide, which was set to 100%.
