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: Enzyme Activity Assay: The PHD2181-417 polypeptide (3 μg) was pre-incubated for 30 minutes with test compound prior to assessing the enzymatic activity of the polypeptide. The PHD enzymatic assay was then performed by transferring the purified PHD2181-417 polypeptide (3 μg) mixture with compound to 0.5 ml of reaction mixture containing the following: synthetic HIF-1α peptide comprising residues [KNPFSTGDTDLDLEMLAPYIPMDDDFQLRSFDQLS] (10 μM, California Peptide Research Inc., Napa, Calif.), and [5-14C]-2-oxoglutaric acid (50 mCi/mmol, Moravek Chemicals, Brea, Calif.) in reaction buffer (40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.4 mg/ml catalase, 0.5 mM DTT, 1 mM ascorbate) for 10 minutes in the presence of compound. The reaction was stopped by addition of 50 μl of 70 mM H3PO4 and 50 μl of 500 mM NaH2PO4, pH 3.2. Detection of [14C]-succinic acid was achieved by separating from [5-14C]-2-oxoglutaric acid by incubating the reaction mixture with 100 μl of 0.16 M DNP prepared in 30% perchloric acid. Next, 50 μl of unlabeled 20 mM 2-oxoglutaric acid/20 mM succinic acid, serving as carrier for the radioactivity, was added to the mixture, and was allowed to proceed for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was then incubated with 50 μl of 1 M 2-oxoglutaric acid for 30 additional minutes at room temperature to precipitate the excess DNP. The reaction was then centrifuged at 2800×g for 10 minutes at room temperature to separate [14C]-succinic acid in the supernatant from the precipitated [14C]-dinitrophenylhydrazone. Fractions of the supernatant (400 μl) were counted using a beta counter (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, Calif.). Inhibition of PHD2181-417 activity was measured as a decrease in [14C]-succinic acid production. The IC50 values were estimated by fitting the data to a three-parameter logistic function using GraphPad Prism, version 4.02 (Graph Pad Software, San Diego, Calif.). IC50 values up to 10 μM were quantified otherwise were noted as >10 μM. All compounds were diluted at 10 mM in 100% DMSO (w/v) and tested from 10 μM to 3 nM at half-log serial dilutions, with a final concentration of 2% DMSO (w/v) in the assay.

UniProt: P41594
Assay: Calcium Influx Assay Based on Fluorescence: Ca2+ (calcium) influx assay is an experiment for measuring the activity of a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 receptor in which human mGluR5 receptor-overexpressed HEK293 cell line is used. The day before the experiment, cells were prepared in a cell culture medium (DMEM, 5% FBS) with the density of 80,000/well, and 100 μl of cells were dispensed into each well of a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate. Cells were incubated in a 5% CO2, 37° C. incubator. The next day, the cell culture medium was removed from the plate, and 100 μl of 1× Fluo-4 calcium indicator diluted with a buffer (1× Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM probenecid) were added to each well and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The compound stock solutions were prepared in 100% DMSO, and the compounds were serially diluted with a ¼ dilution to 6 or 7 concentrations (final concentration was 10 μM to 10 nM). The diluted compound solutions were added to the plate with 0.1 to 0.2% of final DMSO concentration. 1 hour after the addition of Fluo-4 calcium indicator, L-glutamate (EC20 concentration) and the test compound solutions were added to the plate, and Ca2+ reaction was then measured by FLIPR at room temperature. The activity of the compounds was standardized on the basis of the results of maximum value-minimum value of fluorescent reaction, and the activity value was calculated on the basis that no activity on glutamate EC20 is 0% and the reaction to glutamate maximum value is 100%.

UniProt: Q9UQD0
Assay: Sodium Influx Assay (In Vitro Assay): This sodium influx assay employs the use of the cell permeable, sodium sensitive dye ANG2 to quantify sodium ion influx through sodium channels which are maintained in an open state by use of sodium channel modulators. This high throughput sodium influx assay allows for rapid profiling and characterization of sodium channel blockers.In general, Trex HEK293 cells were stably transfected with an inducible expression vector containing the full-length cDNA coding for the desired human sodium channel α-subunit and with an expression vector containing full length cDNA coding for the β1-subunit. Sodium channel expressing cell lines were induced with tetracycline (1 μg/mL) and plated on 384-well PDL-coated plates at a density of 25K-30K cells/well in culture media (DMEM, containing 10% FBS and 1% L-glutamine). After overnight incubation (37° C., 5% CO2), culture media was removed and cells were loaded with 5 uM ANG2 dye for 1-1.5 h in Buffer 1 (155 mM NMDG, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, adjusted with Tris to pH 7.4). Access dye was removed and cells were incubated with test compounds for 1 hr in buffer 1 containing sodium channel modulator(s) at room temperature. Hamamatsu FDSS μCell was used to perform a 1:1 addition of Na/K challenge buffer (140 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mM CaCl2, 15 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM glucose, adjusted with Tris to pH 7.4) and simultaneously read plates at excitation wavelength of 530 nm and emission wavelength set at 558 nm. Percent inhibition of sodium ion influx was calculated for each test compound at each test concentration to determine the IC50 values.

Target: GTP-binding protein Rheb (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q15382
Assay: In Vitro Kinase Assay: For the Rheb-dependent in vitro kinase assay, HA-GST-Rheb was first loaded with GTP-γ-S (Millipore #20-176) by incubating 600 ng/μL Rheb with 10 mM EDTA and 0.4 mM GTP-γ-S at 30° C. for 10 minutes. MgCl2 was added to a final concentration of 20 mM to stop the reaction. This mixture was used at 20× in the kinase assay.Loaded HA-GST-Rheb was then incubated with compound (final DMSO concentration 1%) for 30 minutes at room temperature. mTORC1, GFP-4E-BP1 substrate (Life Technologies #PV4759), and kinase assay buffer (HEPES pH 7.4, KCl, MgCl2) were added to the Rheb-compound mixture and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. ATP was then added, and the kinase reaction proceeded at 30° C. for 45 min before being stopped by the addition of SDS-PAGE loading buffer for Westerns or 10 mM EDTA for the LanthaScreen readout. During the kinase reaction, the final concentration of reagents is as follows: Rheb30 ng/μL, compoundvariable, GTPγS0.02 mM, EDTA0.5 mM, MgCl21 mM, mTORC1fixed volume of prep (molarity unknown), GFP-4E-BP1 substrate15 ng/μL, ATP0.5 mM. For LanthaScreen analysis (Thermo Fisher #PV4757), the manufacturer's instructions were followed and conditions were optimized for the amount of Rheb and mTORC1. The final concentration of reagents was as follows: 100 nM loaded HA-GST-Rheb, compound (variable), 0.5 mM EDTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 50 mM KCl, mTORC1 (fixed volume0.1 μL in 10 μL total volume), 0.4 μM GFP-4E-BP1 substrate, 0.5 mM ATP. Optimization is summarized in FIG. 1. Results were read on an EnVision reader (PerkinElmer) using 495ex/520em filters (Life Technologies, #PV00315).

Assay: ADP-Glo kinase assay: HPK1 kinase activity was measured by Promega's ADP-Glo kinase assay. In this assay, 5 ng of recombinant human HPK1 (signalchem) is incubated with 5 μL of compounds (0.5% DMSO), 5 μL of MBP (0.5 μg/μl) and 5 μL of ATP (25 μM) in buffer (40 mM Tris, 7.5; 20 mM MgCl2; 0.1 mg/ml BSA; 5 μM DTT). The assay was started by incubating the reaction mixture in a 96-well plate at 30′ C for 40 minutes. After the incubation, 25 uL ADP-Glo reagent was added and the reaction was incubated at room temperature for 40-min to stop the reaction and degrade residual ATP. The ADP product was then converted to ATP by adding 50 uL per well of detection reagent. Luminescence was detected after 30-min room temperature incubation with the Molecular device I3X plate reader. The IC50 values were calculated from a series of percent inhibition values determined at a range of inhibitor concentration using software routines as implemented in the GraphPad Prism 7 software and SigmaPlot13.0.

Assay: In Vitro Assay: Human orexin-A as an agonist is prepared as 1 mM stock solution in MeOH: water (1:1), diluted in HBSS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHCO3: 0.375 g/L and 20 mM HEPES for use in the assay at a final concentration of 3 nM.Antagonists are prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 384-well plates using DMSO followed by a transfer of the dilutions into in HBSS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), NaHCO3: 0.375 g/L and 20 mM HEPES. On the day of the assay, 50 uL of staining buffer (HBSS containing 1% FCS, 20 mM HEPES, NaHCO3: 0.375 g/L, 5 mM probenecid (Sigma) and 3 uM of the fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-4 AM (1 mM stock solution in DMSO, containing 10% pluronic) is added to each well. The 384-well cell-plates are incubated for 50 min at 37° C. in 5% CO2 followed by equilibration at rt for 30 min before measurement.Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices), antagonists are added to the plate in a volume of 10 uL/well, incubated for 120 min and finally 10 uL/well of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehicle in place of antagonist. The IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) is determined and may be normalized using the obtained IC50 value of an on-plate reference compound. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell splitting regime. The calculated IC50 values may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art. In the case where IC50 values have been determined several times for the same compound, the geometric mean has been given.

Target: Estrogen receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P03372
Assay: Estrogen Receptor Coactivator Assay: It is a competition assay, where binding of a test compound to a complex comprised of (i) His6-ERα298-554 protein representing ERα ligand-binding domain, (ii) Tb-labeled His6 antibody, (iii) a fluorescein-labeled PGC1α coactivator peptide (EAEEPSLLKKLLLAPANTQ), and (iv) estradiol, results in a decrease of the TR-FRET signal due to dissociation of the coactivator peptide. His6-ERα298-554 proteins were expressed as WT or D538G or Y537S mutants in E. coli and purified by affinity chromatography. The assay works in a homogeneous mix-and-read format. In a typical experiment, a 4 μL mixture of 0.5 nM His6-ERα298-554, 0.5 nM Tb-labeled His6 antibody, 250 nM PGC1a peptide, and 3 nM estradiol in 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.02% NaN3, 5 mM DTT, was added to 40 nL test compound in DMSO and incubated overnight at room temperature. The TR-FRET 520:495 nm emission ratio was calculated and used to determine the IC50 value from a dose response curve fit to the 4-parameter logistic equation. The antagonist activity with respect to estrogen receptors in this test is given by the concentration which inhibits 50% of the estrogen receptor activity (or IC50) in nM.

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.).

UniProt: P04629
Assay: DiscoverX PathHunter Assay: In this assay, U2OS cells express the human TrkA receptor as a fusion with the weakly complementing fragment of B-galactosidase, which DiscoverX calls Prolink (PK); additionally, Shc1 is fused with a larger fragment, which is called Enzyme Acceptor (EA). Activation of the TrkA receptor, upon NGF addition, results in the kinase domain being phosphorylated, resulting in subsequent recruitment of Shc1-EA protein. That recruitment results in an active B-galactosidase enzyme that is detected by addition of a chemiluminescent substrate. The human p75NTR protein was also expressed as a co-receptor for NGF.All reagents were purchased from DiscoverX, except for the receptor agonists (NGF, BDNF, NT3) which were purchased from Peprotech. Cells were expanded and frozen into cryovials, and stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, and thawed immediately before use. Thawed cells were added to a 384-well plate at 7500 cells/well, and allowed to incubate overnight. Compound at various concentrations was added the following morning and allowed to incubate on cells for 1 h. Then, NGF was added at a concentration sufficient to elicit 80% of a maximal response and allowed to incubate for 3 h at ambient temperature. DiscoverX PathHunter detection reagent was then added and the plate was further incubated for 1 h in the dark. The plate was then read via luminescence on the Perkin Elmer Envision.

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

Assay: Fluorescence Direct Binding Asaay: Determination of the affinities of compounds to protein containing one or more tryptophan is measurable by monitoring the fluorescence emission in direct mode. The measurements, depending on the protein available amounts, were performed either manually in a cuvette on ISS-PCI photon counting spectrofluorometer or automatically in well plates on a fluorescence plate reader device. Fluorescence titrations were performed at 20° C. in the chosen binding assay buffer by using a defined constant protein concentration against ligand concentration variations. Small aliquots of known ligand concentration solubilized in DMSO were added and the fluorescence, excited at 280 nm, was recorded at 340 nm. The fluorescence intensity was corrected for protein dilution and for the filter effect (Birdsall, B., King, R. W., Wheeler, M. R., Lewis, C. A. Jr, Goode, S. R., Dunlap, R. B. & Roberts, G. C. (1983). Anal. Biochem.132, 353-361). The corrected fluorescence intensity was plotted against the ligand concentration and fitted using a four-parameter sigmoidal function from which the equilibrium dissociation constant Kd was computed using the law of mass action assuming a 1:1 proteinligand complex (Eftink, Methods Enzymol. 1997; 278:221-57). The process includes:Optimization of measurement parameters to minimize protein consumption and to minimize the dilution effect and the DMSO content. Titration measurements of the protein against ligand by at least 12 titration steps to obtain an s-curve fit. Repeat the same titration measurements with the ligand alone to enable correction. Check the stability of the protein once by titration against DMSO alone. Determination of the molar extinction coefficients of the ligand at 280 and 340 nm with help of an UV-spectrophotometer. Use Excel template for the correction of the measured raw data. Use GraphPad Prism software for the quadratic binding fit and the KD evaluation.

Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehicle in place of antagonist. The IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) is determined and may be normalized using the obtained IC50 value of an on-plate reference compound. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell splitting regime. The calculated IC50 values may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art. In the case where IC50 values have been determined several times for the same compound, the geometric mean has been given.
