Target: Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P23458
Assay: Biochemical JAK Assay: A panel of four LanthaScreen JAK biochemical assays (JAK1, 2, 3 and Tyk2) were carried in a common kinase reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Brij-35, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA). Recombinant GST-tagged JAK enzymes and a GFP-tagged STAT1 peptide substrate were obtained from Life Technologies.Serially diluted compounds were pre-incubated with each of the four JAK enzymes and the substrate in white 384-well microplates (Corning) at ambient temperature for lh. ATP was subsequently added to initiate the kinase reactions in 10 μL total volume, with 1% DMSO. The final enzyme concentrations for JAK1, 2, 3 and Tyk2 are 4.2 nM, 0.1 nM, 1 nM, and 0.25 nM respectively; the corresponding Km ATP concentrations used are 25 μM, 3 μM, 1.6 μM, and 10 μM; while the substrate concentration is 200 nM for all four assays. Kinase reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 hour at ambient temperature before a 10 μL preparation of EDTA (10 mM final concentration) and Tb-anti-pSTAT1 (pTyr701) antibody (Life Technologies, 2 nM final concentration) in TR-FRET dilution buffer (Life Technologies) was added. The plates were allowed to incubate at ambient temperature for lh before being read on the EnVision reader (Perkin Elmer). Emission ratio signals (520 nm/495 nm) were recorded and utilized to calculate the percent inhibition values based on DMSO and background controls.For dose-response analysis, percent inhibition data were plotted vs. compound concentrations, and IC50 values were determined from a 4-parameter robust fit model with the Prism software (GraphPad Software). Results were expressed as pIC50 (negative logarithm of IC50) and subsequently converted to pKi (negative logarithm of dissociation constant, Ki) using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.Test compounds having a higher pKi value in each of the four JAK assays show greater inhibition of JAK activity. Compounds of the invention tested in this assay typically exhibited pKi values between about 7 and about 10.3

Assay: Kinase Assay: MRCKα, MRCKβ, ROCK1 and ROCK2 assays were performed using an IMAP fluorescence polarization assay format (Molecular Devices Inc.). 8-12 nM of each kinase (Life Technologies) was incubated for 60 min at room temperature with 100 nM FAM-S6-ribosomal protein derived peptide (synthesized by Alta Biosciences, University of Birmingham UK) in the presence of 1 μM ATP and 0.5 mM MgCl2 in 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.01% Tween-20 and 1 mM DTT (MRCKα and β); or 1 μM ATP, 10 mM MgCl2 in 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.5) containing 0.25 mM EGTA 0.01% Triton X-100 and 1 mM DTT (ROCK1 and ROCK2). Typically, dose response analyses were performed over concentration ranges from 0.005-100 μM. Reactions were stopped by adding 2 assay volumes of 0.25% (v/v) IMAP binding reagent in 1×IMAP binding buffer A (Molecular Devices). After 30 min incubation to allow binding reagent to bind phosphorylated peptide, fluorescence polarization was measured on a Tecan Saphire2 plate reader at excitation (470 nm) and emission (530 nm) wavelengths. Inhibition was calculated using no inhibitor and no enzyme controls as 0 and 100% inhibition, respectively.

Assay: AKR1C3-Inhibitory Action: For the assay, 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test substance in DMSO were pipetted into a black low-volume 384-well microtitre plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2.0 μl of a solution of AKR1C3 in assay buffer [50 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7, 1 mM DTT, 0.0022% (w/v) Pluronic F-127, 0.01% BSA (w/v) and protease inhibitor cocktail (complete, EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail from Roche)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min, in order to enable preliminary binding of the substances to the enzyme prior to the enzyme reaction. Then the enzyme reaction was started by adding 3 μl of a solution of NADPH (16.7 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 10 μM) and coumberone (0.5 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 0.3 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated at 22° C. for the reaction time of 90 min. The concentration of the AKR1C3 was matched to the respective activity of the enzyme preparation and set such that the assay worked within the linear range. Typical concentrations were in the region of 1 nM. The reaction was stopped by adding 5 μl of a stop solution consisting of the inhibitor EM-1404 [F. Labrie et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,541,463, 2003](2 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 1 μM). Subsequently, the fluorescence of coumberol was measured at 520 nm (excitation at 380 nm) with a suitable measuring instrument (Pherastar from BMG Labtechnologies). The intensity of the fluorescence was used as a measure for the amount of coumberol formed and hence for the enzyme activity of AKR1C3. The data were normalized (enzyme reaction without inhibitor=0% inhibition; all other assay components but no enzyme=100% inhibition). Typically, the test substances were tested on the same microtitre plate at 11 different concentrations in the range from 20 μM to 96.8 μM (20 μM, 5.9 μM, 1.7 μM, 0.5 μM, 0.15 μM, 44 nM, 12.9 nM, 3.8 nM, 1.1 nM, 0.3 nM and 96.8 μM; the dilution series were prepared before the assay at the level of the 100-fold concentrated solution by serial 1:3 dilutions with 100% DMSO) in twin values for each concentration, and IC50 values were calculated by a 4-parameter fit.

UniProt: P61964
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 Th-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 (A23, 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.

The plate was incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. The Raf kinase activity reaction was started by the addition of 5 mL per well of 2×ATP diluted in assay buffer. After 3 hours (b-Raf(V600E)) or 1 hour (c-Raf). The reactions were stopped and the phosphorylated product was measured using a rabbit anti-p-MEK (Cell Signaling, #9121) antibody and the Alpha Screen IgG (ProteinA) detection Kit (PerkinElmer #6760617R), by the addition of 10 mL to the well of a mixture of the antibody (1:2000 dilution) and detection beads (1:2000 dilution of both beads) in Stop/bead buffer (25 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 0.01% Tween20). The additions were carried out under dark conditions to protect the detection beads from light. A lid was placed on top of the plate and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, after which the luminescence was read on a PerkinElmer Envision instrument. The concentration of each compound for 50% inhibition (IC50) was calculated by non-linear regression using XL Fit data analysis software.

Assay: NIK Enzyme Inhibition Assay: The ability of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB)-inducing kinase (NIK) to catalyze the hydrolysis of adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) was monitored using the Transcreener ADP (adenosine-5′-diphosphate) assay (BellBrook Labs). Purified NIK (0.5 nM) derived from a baculovirus-infected insect cell expression system was incubated with test compounds for 1-3.5 hours in 50 mM 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid buffer (pH 7.2) containing 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 10 μM ATP, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.1% gamma-globulins from bovine blood, 1% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), 7 μg/mLADP antibody and 5 nM ADP-MR121 633 tracer. Reactions were quenched by the addition of 20 mM 2,2′,2″,2′″-(ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilo)tetraacetic acid and 0.01% Brij 35. The tracer bound to the antibody was displaced by the ADP generated during the NIK reaction, which causes a decrease in fluorescence polarization that was measured by laser excitation at 633 nm with a Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy Plus reader (Evotec AG). Equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) values for NIK inhibitors are calculated from plots of activity vs. inhibitor concentration using Morrison's quadratic equation that accounts for the potential of tight binding, and by also applying the conversion factor that accounted for competitive inhibition and the concentration of substrate used in the assay relative to its Michaelis constant (Km).

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: 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.

Assay: HPK1 Biochemical Enzyme Assay: HPK1 enzyme inhibition was measured using a microfluidic mobility shift assay (MSA). The reactions were conducted in 50 μL volumes in 96-well plates, and contained 0.5 nM human full-length recombinant HPK1, 3 μM phosphoacceptor peptide, 5FAM-AKRRRLSSLRA-COOH (CPC Scientific, Sunnyvale, Calif.), test compound (11-dose 3-fold serial dilutions, 2% DMSO final) or DMSO only, 0.002% Tween-20, 1 mM DTT and 2.5 mM MgCl2 in 50 mM MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid), pH 7.8, buffer and were initiated by addition of 75 μM ATP, following a 20-min preincubation. The reactions were conducted for 60 min at 37° C., stopped by the addition of 50 μL of 0.015 M EDTA, pH 8, and the extent of reactions (15-20% conversion with no inhibitor) was determined after electrophoretic separation of the fluorescently labeled peptide substrate and phosphorylated product on an LabChip EZ Reader II (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, Mass.).Inhibition of HPK1 was also measured using the fluorescence based chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) method (1), using a proprietary fluorescent peptide substrate, in which a cysteine residue is alkylated with a sulfonamido-oxine based derivative to afford an amino acid termed C-Sox (CSx). The assay was conducted similarly as described for the MSA method above, but using 3 μM Ac-[CSx]HSLPRFNR-amide peptide substrate (also known as AQT0178 when purchased from AssayQuant Technologies Inc., Hopkinton, Mass.) and 45 μM ATP. Initial reaction velocities were determined by following the peptide fluorescence (λex=360 nm, λem=500 nm) at 30° C. for 15 min in a Tecan M1000 plate reader (Tecan Group Ltd., Männedorf, Zürich, Switzerland). The inhibition constant (Ki) values were calculated by fitting the % conversion based (MSA method) or fluorescence based initial velocities (CHEF method) to the Morrison equation (2) for tight-binding competitive inhibition using non-linear regression method and an experimentally measured ATP Km (29 μM by MSA and 19 μM by CHEF, respectively). The inhibitors were shown to be ATP-competitive from kinetic and crystallographic studies. HPK1 protein was produced in-house and preactivated by autophosphorylation of enzyme with MgATP as described in the section Production of recombinant autophosphorylated full-length HPK1.

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.).

Assay: FPA Binding Assay: FPA Assay protocol adopted from Karatas et al. (J. Med. Chem. 2010, 5179.; J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 2013, 669.): WDR5 (Δ23, residues 24-334), is expressed and purified in sufficient quantities for screening. FITC-MLL peptide (FITC-GSARAEVHLRKS) and 10mer-Thr-FAM (ARTEVHLRKS-(Ahx-Ahx)(Lys-(5-FAM))) were purchased from GeneScript and used without additional purification. FITC-MLL peptide is used at 50 nM, while WDR5 is added at the Ki value of the protein:peptide interaction (WDR5-WIN Ki=2.5 μM). 10mer-Thr-FAM peptide is used at 4 nM, while WDR5 is added at the Ki value of the protein:peptide interaction (WDR5-10mer-Thr Ki=4 nM).Stock compounds are dispensed in barcoded 384-well plates as 30 mM solutions in DMSO. This plate is used as the source plate for the Echo Liquid Handler, which distributes the compounds to the assay plate (black, flat-bottom; Greiner) in a 10-point, 3-fold dilution scheme with a top concentration of 100 μM (5 nM low concentration) in a final volume of 50 μL. Both the top concentration and the dilution scheme can be adjusted to fit the anticipated potency of the compounds.For the FITC-MLL assay, 2.5 μM WDR5 and 50 nM FITC-MLL peptide in assay buffer (1× Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH 6.0, 300 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.1% CHAPS) is added to all compound-containing wells and to columns 2, 24 (negative control, 0% inhibition). 2 μL of 50 nM FITC-MLL peptide alone in assay buffer is added to columns 1, 23 (positive control, 100% inhibition). For the 10mer-Thr-FAM assay, a similar addition protocol is performed, using 4 nM WDR5 and 4 nM 10mer-Thr-FAM peptide in assay buffer (1× Phosphate Buffered Saline pH 6.0, 300 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.1% CHAPS).The plate is covered, shielded from light, and incubated for 60 min at room temperature, with rocking. Anisotropy is measured at excitation wavelength 480 nm and emission wavelength 535 nm using an EnVision Multi-label plate reader (PerkinElmer, Wellesley, Mass., USA) or a BioTek Cytation 3 (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). Fluorescence anisotropy is plotted against compound concentration to generate an IC50 (inhibitor concentration at which 50% of bound peptide is displaced) by fitting the data to a 4-parameter logistic model using XLFit software (Guildford, Surrey, UK). IC50 is converted to a binding dissociation constant (Ki value) according to the formula of Wang Z. FEBS Lett (1996) 3, 245.K i=[I]50/([L]50 /K d+[P]0 /K d+1)where [I]50 is the concentration of the free inhibitor at 50% inhibition, [L]50 is the concentration of the free labeled ligand at 50% inhibition, [P]0 is the concentration of the free protein at 0% inhibition, Kd represents the dissociation constant of the FITC-MLL or 10mer-Thr-FAM probe for WDR5. Total fluorescence is also measured, to rule out compounds that are inherently fluorescent or able to act as quenchers in the assay.

Assay: Competitive Radioligand-Binding Assay : Estrogen receptor (ERβ) binding affinity of the NRBAs was also determined using an in vitro competitive radioligand-binding assay with [3H]-estradiol ([3H]-E2, PerkinElmer), a high affinity ligand for both ERα and ERβ. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of [3H]-E2 was determined by incubating increasing concentrations of [3H]-E2 (0.01 to 10 nM) with bacterially expressed ERα or ERβ ligand binding domain (LBD) at 4° C. for 18 hours (h). Non-specific binding was determined by adding 1000 nM E2 to the incubation mixture. It was determined that the minimum concentration of [3H]-E2 required to saturate ERα and ERβ binding sites in the incubation mixture was 1 nM, respectively. The binding affinity of the NRBAs was determined under identical conditions by incubating increasing concentrations (3×10−2 to 1,000 nM) of ligand with isolated ER LBD and 1 nM [3H]-E2. Following incubation, bound and free [3H]-E2 were separated by using vacuum filtration with the Harvester (PerkinElmer). Briefly, the incubation mixture was filtered through a high affinity protein binding filter, and washed several times to remove any unbound radioactivity. The filter plate was air dried and sealed on the bottom. Scintillation cocktail was added to each well and the top of the plate was sealed. Radioactivity was counted in a TopCount NXT Microplate Scintillation Counter.

The test compound was diluted with 25% DMSO in H2O to yield a final 0.5% DMSO concentration. which also served as a respective vehicle control. The assay was started by adding wheat germ agglutinin coated SPA beads (GE Healthcare UK Ltd. Buckinghamshire. UK) which had been preloaded with hMOP receptor membranes (PerkinElmer Life Sciences. Inc. Boston. Mass. USA). After incubation for 60 minutes at RT and centrifugation for 20 minutes at 500 rpm the signal rate was measured by means of a 1450 Microbeta Trilux β-counter (PerkinElmer Life Sciences/Wallac. Turku. Finland). Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values reflecting 50% displacement of [3H]nociceptin-specific receptor binding were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis and Ki values were calculated by using the Cheng-Prusoff equation. (Cheng and Prusoff. 1973).

Assay: EED-H3K27Me3 Peptide Competition Binding Assay by AlphaScreen: To assess the compounds potency in the EED-H3K27Me3 competition binding assay, compounds were serially diluted 3-fold in DMSO to obtain a total of twelve concentrations. Then compounds at each concentration (75 nL of each) were transferred by Mosquito into a 384-well Perkin Elmer ProxiPlate 384 plus plates. 8 uL of solutions containing 30 nM EED (1-441)-His protein and 15 nM biotin-H3K27Me3 (19-33) peptide in the buffer (25 mM HEPES, pH 8, 0.02% Tween-20, 0.5% BSA) were added to the wells and then incubated with compound for 20 min. AlphaScreen detection beads mix was prepared immediately before use by mixing nickel chelate acceptor beads and streptavidin donor beads in a 1:1 ratio (Perkin Elmer, Product No. 6760619C/M/R) into the buffer described above. Then 4 μL of detection beads mix was added to the plate and incubate in the dark at the rt for 1 h. The final concentration of donor and acceptor beads was 10 μg/mL for each. Plates were read on EnVision (PerkinElmer) using the AlphaScreen setting adapted for optimal signal detection with a 615 nm filter, after sample excitation at 680 nm. The emission signal at 615 nm was used to quantify compounds inhibition. AlphaScreen signals were normalized based on the reading coming from the positive (maximum signal control) and negative controls (minimum signal control) to give percentage of activities left. The data were then fit to a dose response equation using the program Helios (Novartis) to get the IC50 values. Helios is a Novartis in-house assay data analysis software using the methods described by Normolle, D. P., Statistics in Medicine, 12:2025-2042 (1993); Formenko, I. et al, Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 82, 31-37 (2006); Sebaugh, J.

Compounds were diluted as described in the preceding section, and the assay was performed by adding 12 μL of 10 nM biotin-miniPEG-His6 peptide in the above buffer and incubating for 20 min at rt prior to addition of the beads to 10 μg/mL each. The plates were then incubated for 1 h at rt in dark before being read on EnVison.

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.
