Assay: Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA): The total assay volume was about 100 μL in the following configuration: 2-μL compound in DMSO, 88 μL buffer with protein and probe and 10 μL of SPA beads. The compound was diluted in a master plate consisting of a 10-point dose response with a 3-fold compound dilution from 100 μM to 5 nM. Assays were run on a 96-well plate in which one column, designated as the high signal control, contained DMSO with no compound and another column, designated as the low signal control, contained no protein. Prior to plating out of a compound, a buffer solution, containing 25 mM TRIS pH 7.5 (Sigma), 150 mM NaCl (Sigma), 15% Glycerol (Sigma), 0.15% BSA (Sigma), 0.001% Tween-20 (Sigma), 150 nM Compound 120 and 100 nM HIF-2α HIS TAG-PASB Domain, was prepared and allowed to equilibrate for 30 minutes. Compounds that were to be tested were then plated in to a 96-well white clear bottom Isoplate-96 SPA plate (Perkin Elmer). To each compound, 88 μL of the buffer solution was then added. The plate was covered with a plastic cover and then aluminum foil, placed onto a shaker and equilibrated for 1 hour. After equilibration, 10 μL of a 2 mg/mL solution of YSi Cu His tagged SPA beads (Perkin Elmer) were then added to each well of the plate, covered and equilibrated for another 2-hours. The plates were then removed from the shaker, placed into a 1450 LSC and luminescence counter MicroBeta Trilux (Perkin Elmer) to measure the extent of probe displacement.

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).

Target: Fatty acid synthase (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P49327
Assay: Biochemical Assay of FASN: The biochemical FASN activity testing was performed as 384 well two-time-point kinetic fluorescence intensity assay format in Greiner low volume medium binding 384-well black microtiter plates in a total assay volume of 8 μl and was used for high throughput screen. In each well 3 μl 40 nM human recombinant full-length fatty acid synthase (produced in-house in SF9 cells) were dispensed in the following assay buffer: 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.0, 0.005% (w/v) BSA, 2 mM Glutathione, 0.02% Tween-20. Then 2 μl of 200 μM NADPH in assay buffer were added, followed by the addition of the test compounds in 10 dilution concentrations starting with 30 μM (final concentration) to get a final DMSO content of 1% (v/v). The mixture was incubated for at least 15 min at room temperature. After the pre-incubation the enzymatic reaction was started by the addition of 2 μl substrate solution (80 μM acetyl-CoA, 240 μM malonyl-CoA). A first fluorescence intensity measurement (time point one) was performed with an Envision multimode reader (Perkin Elmer LAS Germany GmbH) at excitation wavelength 340 nm (lamp mode) and emission wavelength 460 nm. The reaction was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. After this the fluorescence intensity was measured again in the Envision using the same parameters as described above (second time point measurement). The data were analysed by subtracting the first time point measurement value from the second time point measurement value (after the enzymatic reaction). The differences of the emission signals were determined. These reflect directly the conversion rate of NADPH. The full value used was the inhibitor-free reaction. A pharmacological zero value was used like GSK837149A (Sigma-Aldrich) in a final concentration of 5-10 μM. The inhibitory values (IC50) were determined using either the program Symyx Assay Explorer® or Condosseo® from GeneData.

Target: Integrin alpha-V/beta-6 (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P06756
Assay: Binding Assay: The biochemical potency of compounds was determined using a proximity-based assay (ALPHASCREEN®, Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.) as described previously (Ullman E F et al., Luminescent oxygen channeling immunoassay: Measurement of particle binding kinetics by chemiluminescence. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 91, pp. 5426-5430, June 1994). To gauge the potency of inhibitors of binding to human integrin αvβ6, inhibitor compounds and integrin were incubated together with TGF-b1 LAP and biotinylated anti-LAP antibody plus acceptor and donor beads, following the manufacture's recommendations. The donor beads were coated with streptavidin. The acceptor beads had a nitrilotriacetic acid Ni chelator, for binding to a 6×His Tag on human integrin αvβ6. All incubations occurred at room temperatures in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.1% BSA supplemented with 1 mM each CaCl2 and MgCl2.The order of reagent addition was as follows:1. Alpha-v-beta-6 integrin, test inhibitor compound, LAP, biotinylated anti-LAP antibody and acceptor beads were all added together.2. After 2 hours, donor beads were added. After another 30 minute incubation, samples were then read.Integrin binding was evaluated by exciting donor beads at 680 nm, and measuring the fluorescent signal produced, between 520-620 nm, using a Biotek Instruments (Winooski, Vt., USA) SynergyNeo2 multimode plate reader.

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: 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.

UniProt: P61964
Assay: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Assay: Exemplary compounds of the application were dissolved in 100% DMSO at 10 mM, assayed fresh, and then stored at −20° C. for repeat studies and other experiments. Full length WDR5 with an N-terminal His tag and C-terminal AviTag (Avidity Inc.) was expressed in E. coli with coexpression of BirA to biotin labelled protein in vivo. Purification of the protein was performed using Ni-NTA. The purified WDR5 protein has a molecular weight of 41976 Da.SPR studies were performed using a Biacore T200 instrument (GE Health Sciences Inc.). Biotinylated WDR5 protein (approximately 3000 RU) was stably captured to streptavidin coupled SA chips according to the manufacture's protocol (GE Health Sciences Inc.). The running buffer used was HBS-EP (20 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% P-20) plus 5% DMSO with a flow rate of 40 μl/min. For SPR analysis, 5 different concentrations of each exemplary compound of the application were sprayed into 96 or 384 well plates using an HP D300 digital dispenser. The concentration ranged from about 195 nM to about 12 nM in a two-fold series. Concentration ranges were adjusted higher or lower for weaker or more potent compounds respectively when necessary. For the KD determinations, single cycle kinetic analysis was performed with an on time of 60 seconds, and an off time of 300 or 600 seconds. Curve fitting and KD calculations were performed with the Biacore T200 Evaluation software (GE Health Sciences Inc).

Assay: Kinase Assay: The assays were performed in U-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2 and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Tween-20 and 1.0 mM DTT). The reactions were initiated by the combination of bacterially expressed, GST-Xa-hAAK1 with substrates and test compounds. The reactions were incubated at room temperature for 3 hours and terminated by adding 60 μl of 35 mM EDTA buffer to each sample. The reactions were analyzed on the Caliper LabChip 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to EDTA quenched control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assays are ATP, 22 μM; (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2, 1.5 μM; GST-Xa-hAAK1, 3.5 nM; and DMSO, 1.6%. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations.

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.

Target: Catenin beta-1/Protein Wnt-3a (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P56704
Assay: Evaluation of Biological Activity: Compounds that enhance the Wnt activity, or Activators, were assayed as follows. Reporter cell lines were generated by stably transducing cells of colon cancer cell lines (with a lentiviral construct that included a Wnt-responsive promoter driving expression of the firefly luciferase gene).Lentiviral constructs were made in which the SP5 promoter, a promoter having eight TCF/LEF binding sites derived from the SP5 promoter, was linked upstream of the firefly luciferase gene. The lentiviral constructs also included a hygromycin resistance gene as a selectable marker. The SP5 promoter construct was used to transduce SW480 cells, a colon cancer cell line having a mutated APC gene that generates a truncated APC protein, leading to de-regulated accumulation of β-catenin.Cultured SW480 cells bearing a reporter construct were distributed at approximately 10,000 cells per well into 384- or 96-well multiwell plates. Compounds from a small molecule compound library were then added to the wells in half-log dilutions using a maximum concentration of three or ten micromolar. A series of control wells for each cell type received only buffer and compound solvent DMSO. Twenty-four hours after the addition of compound, reporter activity for luciferase was assayed, for example, by addition of the BrightGlo luminescence reagent (Promega) and the Victor3 plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Readings were normalized to DMSO only treated cells, and any activities above DMSO were considered activation. Compounds were considered activators if reporter activities were 2× fold or greater than DMSO. EC50 is the concentration at half maximal activation.

Assay: IDH2 Enzymatic Assay: Compounds were assayed for IDH2 R140Q inhibitory activity through a cofactor depletion assay. Compounds were preincubated with enzyme, then the reaction was started by the addition of NADPH and α-KG, and allowed to proceed for 60 minutes under conditions previously demonstrated to be linear with respect for time for consumption of both cofactor and substrate. The reaction was terminated by the addition of a second enzyme, diaphorase, and a corresponding substrate, resazurin. Diaphorase reduces resazurin to the highly fluorescent resorufin with the concomitant oxidation of NADPH to NADP, both halting the IDH2 reaction by depleting the available cofactor pool and facilitating quantitation of the amount of cofactor remaining after a specific time period through quantitative production of an easily detected fluorophore.Specifically, into each of 12 wells of a 384-well plate, 1 μl of compound dilution series was placed, followed by the addition of 40 μl of buffer (50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 10 mM MgCl2, 10% glycerol, 0.05% bovine serum albumin, 2 mM beta-mercaptoethanol) containing 1.25 μg/ml IDH2 R140Q. The compound was then incubated for one hour at room temperature with the enzyme; before starting the IDH2 reaction with the addition of 10 μl of substrate mix containing 50 μM NADPH and 6.3 mM α-KG in the buffer described above. After a further one hour of incubation at room temperature, the reaction was halted and the remaining NADPH measured through conversion of resazurin to resorufin by the addition of 25 μl Stop Mix (36 μg/ml diaphorase enzyme and 60 μM resazurin; in buffer). After one minute of incubation the plate was read on a plate reader at Ex544/Em590.

Assay: RET Enzyme Assay: Compounds of General Formula I were screened for their ability to inhibit wild type and V804M mutant RET kinase using CisBio's HTRF® KinEASE-TK assay technology. Briefly, N-terminal GST tagged recombinant human RET cytoplasmic domain (aa 658-end) from Eurofins (0.25 nM RET; Cat. No. 14-570M) or N-terminal GST tagged recombinant human V804M mutant RET cytoplasmic domain (aa 658-end) from Millipore (0.25 nM enzyme; Cat.

Compounds were typically prepared in a threefold serial dilution in DMSO and added to the assay to give the appropriate final concentration. After a 30-minute incubation at 22° C., the reaction was quenched by adding 8 μL of quench solution containing 31.25 nM Sa-XL665 and 1× TK-ab-Cryptate in HTRF detection buffer (all from CisBio, part of Cat. No. 62TK0PEC). After a 1 hour incubation at 22° C., the extent of reaction was determined using a PerkinElmer EnVision multimode plate reader via HTRF dual wavelength detection, and the percent of control (POC) was calculated using a ratiometric emission factor. 100 POC was determined using no test compounds and 0 POC was determined using pre-quenched control reactions. The POC values were fit to a 4 parameter logistic curve, and the IC50 is defined as the concentration of inhibitor at which the POC equals 50 for the fitted curve.

Assay: OPRK1 antagonist assay: The cell line for the OPRK1 antagonist assay stably expresses the following elements. The carboxy terminus of the OPRK1 receptor has a 7 amino acid linker, followed by the TEV protease cleavage site and a GAL4-VP16 fusion protein. The cell line also expresses a b-arrestin-2-TEV protease fusion protein and contains a reporter construct consisting of the UAS response element and the b-lactamase (bla) reporter gene. Upon activation of the receptor, g-protein receptor kinase (GRK) phosphorylates specific intracellular residues of OPKR1 and this induces recruitment of B-arrestin2-TEV protease fusion protein. The TEV protease recognizes and cleaves the TEV site, releasing the GAL4-VP16 fusion protein, which then translocates to the nucleus. The GAL4-V16 binds to the UAS element, driving expressing of the b-lactamase gene. B-lactamase expression is detected with the cell permeable, fluorescent substrate, CCF4-AM. This substrate consists of coumarin tethered to fluoroscein via a b-lactam ring. In the absence of b-lactamase, excitation of the dye with 405 nm light results in FRET from the coumarin to fluoroscein and emission of green (525 nm maximum) light. B-lactamase cleavage of the substrate separates the courmarin fluorophore from the fluorscein, and 405 nm excitation results in blue (460 nm maximum) emission. The assay is monitored by the blue/green emission ratio. The antagonist assay is performed by seeding the cells into 384 well plates and incubating them 16-24 hours at 37° C. Test antagonist compounds are added and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. Next an EC80 challenge of U-50488 (OKRK1 agonist) is added and the samples are incubated for 4 hours at 37° C., followed by addition of CCF4-AM substrate. The plates are then incubated 2 hours at room temperature in the dark and the blue/green ratio determined on a fluorescent plate reader. See J Biomol Screen April 2009, vol. 14 no. 4, pp 381-394.

Assay: In Vitro Kinase Activities (LRRK2 TR-FRET Peptide Assay): Compounds as described herein (compounds of Formula I, e.g., compounds of the above Examples) are tested for their in vitro kinase activities using various LRRK2 (including LRRK2 G2019S mutant) assays. For example, assays were performed in a total volume of 20 μL using the same kinase reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM DTT and 0.01% Tween-20) for wild-type or G2019S mutant LRRK2. Serially diluted compounds (1% DMSO as co-solvent) were pre-incubated with recombinant GST-LRRK2 (wild-type, or G2019S mutant, Invitrogen) for 15 minutes at room temperature in 384-well Corning black plates. Mixtures of ATP and biotin-LRRKtide substrate (biotin-RLGRDKYKTLRQIRQ) (SEQ ID NO: 1) were added to the wells at a final concentration of 100 μM ATP and 100 nM substrate, with final kinase concentration of 10 nM. The kinase reactions were carried out at room temperature for 60 minutes, then the reaction was stopped with the addition of 10 μL/well of stop/detection buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 66 mM EDTA, 0.8 M KF and 0.1% BSA) that contains streptavidin-XL665 (12.5 nM) and europium-conjugated phospho-specific antibody (2nM). The plates were read 1 hour later and the time-resolved fluorescence (665 nm to 615 nm ratio) measured using an Envision reader. The inhibition of each well was calculated using the control and background readings for that plate. IC50 values were determined from dose-response curves using eight concentrations from the serial dilution of the test compounds.Many compounds of the Examples are demonstrated to be inhibitors of LRRK2, with most of the compounds tested typically measuring an IC50 below 1 μM for both LRRK2 and G2019S mutant LRRK2 kinase activity.

Assay: Enzymatic Assay: Each test compound (10 mM stock in DMSO) is diluted in DMSO to make a 10-point, 3-fold dilution series. 125 nL of each dilution or DMSO alone is dispensed to a 384-well Greiner Lumitrac 200 assay plate using an Echo® Liquid Handler. To each well of the plate is added 20 uL of enzyme in assay buffer or assay buffer alone. Assay buffer consists of 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, 50 mM magnesium chloride, 50 mM sodium chloride, and 0.01% (w/v) bovine serum albumin. When present, the R132H mutant IDH1 enzyme is at a working concentration of 1.875 nM (final concentration in assay of 1.5 nM). The assay plate is allowed to incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature and 5 uL of 5× substrate mixture (2.5 uM nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 100 uM adenosine diphosphate, 7.5 mM glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, 7.5 ug/mL of spinach glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 25 nM phosphoglycerate kinase, and 5 mM alpha-ketoglutarate in assay buffer) is added to all wells. The reaction plate is incubated for 60 minutes followed by addition of 25 uL of Promega Kinase-GLO reagent to all wells and 10-minute incubation.Luminescence is measured using a PerkinElmer Envision plate reader. The percent activity of each dilution is determined as the ratio of background corrected signal to the background corrected signal of wells receiving only DMSO. IC50 values are determined by fitting percent activity data to a four-parameter logistic dose response equation.

Assay: Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA): Assays were run using 384-well plates (781207/Greiner) in which one column was designated as the high signal (no inhibition) control, and contained DMSO with no test compound, and another column was designated as the low signal control (maximal inhibition), and contained no protein. Serial dilutions of compounds to be tested were added to the assay plate (resulting in duplicate 11-point dose response with semi-log compound dilutions from 50 μM to 0.5 nM or from 5 μM to 0.05 nM for the most potent compounds). A 1/20 isotopic dilution of labeled (Compound B) and non-labeled covalent (Compound A) probe was prepared and added to all wells on the plate. The reaction was started by addition of KRasG12C (M1-K169, biotinylated on the N-terminus) to the compounds and incubated for 2 hours with continuous agitation allowing for full modification of KRasG12C with probe or test compounds. Final concentrations in an assay volume of 40 μL were 10 nM KRasG12C, 25 nM radio-ligand and 475 nM unlabelled ligand. The assay buffer contained 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5 (Invitrogen), 150 mM NaCl (Sigma Aldrich), 0.1 mM MgCl2 (Sigma Aldrich), and 0.01% Tween-20 (Sigma Aldrich). Following addition of 50 μL of a 400 μg/ml. suspension of streptavidin-coated YSi beads (Perkin Elmer), plates were incubated for a further 30 min with continuous agitation before reading the plates on a scintillation counter (Topcount NXT 384 (Packard).

Assay: FLIPR Assay in PAR4-Expressing HEK293 Cells: FLIPR-based calcium mobilization assay in HEK293 cells was used to measure PAR4 antagonism, agonism, and selectivity against PAR1. The activity of the PAR4 antagonists of the present invention were tested in PAR4 expressing cells by monitoring H-Ala-Phe(4-F)-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Asn-Gly-NH2-induced intracellular calcium mobilization. Counter screens for agonist activity and PAR1 antagonist activity were also performed. Briefly, PAR1/PAR4-expressing HEK293 cells were grown in DMEM (Life Technology, Grand Island, N.Y.) containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 10 μg/mL blasticidin, and 100 μg/mL Zeocin at 37° C. with 5% CO2. Cells were plated overnight prior to the experiment in a black 384-well Purecoat Amine clear bottom plate (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, San Jose, Calif.) at 10,000 cells/well in 30 μL growth medium and incubated in a humidified chamber at 37° C. with 5% CO2 overnight. Prior to compound addition, the cell medium was replaced with 40 L of 1× calcium and magnesium-containing Hank's Balanced Saline Solution (HBSS) (with 20 mM HEPES) and 1:1000 diluted fluorescent calcium indicator (Codex Biosolutions, Gaithersburg, Md.). After a 30 minute incubation period at 37° C. and a further 30 minute incubation and equilibration period at room temperature, 20 μL test compound (diluted in 1× HBSS buffer) was added at various concentrations at 0.17% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) final concentration. Changes in fluorescence intensity were measured using a Functional Drug Screening System (FDSS, Hamamatsu, Japan) to determine agonist activities. The cells were then incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature followed by addition of 20 μL of agonist peptide for antagonist activity measurement. The PAR4 agonist peptide (H-Ala-Phe(4-F)-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Asn-Gly-NH2) and the PAR1 agonist peptide (SFFLRR) were routinely tested to ensure a proper response at the EC50 value in the assay (5 μM for PAR4 agonist peptide and 2 μM for PAR1 agonist peptide). Compound potency was derived from 11-point concentration-response curves.

Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides the use of compounds of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein for inhibiting MAGL in a mammal.In a further aspect, the present invention provides compounds of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein for use in a method of inhibiting MAGL in a mammal.In a further aspect, the present invention provides the use of compounds of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein for the preparation of a medicament for inhibiting MAGL in a mammal.In a further aspect, the present invention provides a method for inhibiting MAGL in a mammal, which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of Formula (I) as described herein to the mammal.Compounds were profiled for MAGL inhibitory activity by measuring the enzymatic activity of MAGL by following the hydrolysis of 4-nitorphenylacetate resulting in 4-nitrophenol, which absorbs at 405-412 nm (G. G. Muccioli, G. Labar, D. M. Lambert, Chem. Bio. Chem. 2008, 9, 2704-2710).The assay was carried out in 384 well assay plates (black with clear bottom, non-binding surface treated, Corning Ref. 3655) in a total volume of 40 μL. Compound dilutions were made in 100% DMSO (VWR Chemicals 23500.297) in a polypropylene plate in 3-fold dilution steps to give a final concentration range in the assay from 25 μM to 1.7 nM. 1 μL compound dilutions (100% DMSO) were added to 19 μL MAGL (recombinant wild-type) in assay buffer (50 mM TRIS (GIBCO, 15567-027), 1 mM EDTA (Fluka, 03690-100 ml)). The plate was shaked for 1 min at 2000 rpm (Variomag Teleshake) and then incubated for 15 min at RT. To start the reaction, 20 μL 4-Nitrophenlyacetate (Sigma N-8130) in assay buffer with 6% EtOH was added. The final concentrations in the assay were 1 nM MAGL and 300 μM 4-Nitrophenylacetate. After shaking (1 min, 2000 rpm) and 5 min incubation at RT, the absorbance at 405 nm was measured for a fist time (Molecular Devices, SpectraMax Paradigm). A second measurement was then done after incubation for 80 min at RT. From the two measurements, the slope was calculated by subtracting the first from the second measurement.

Assay: Biochemical JAK and Tyk2 Kinase Assays: 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 or discretely 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 1 h. 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 1 h 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.

Assay: Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA): The human PDE10A full length assay was performed in 96-well micro titer plates. The reaction mixture of 50 .mu.l contained 20 mM HEPES pH=7.5/10 mM MgCl2/0.05 mg/ml BSA (Sigma cat. #A-7906), 50 nM cGMP (Sigma, cat. #G6129) and 50 nM [3H]-cGMP (GE Healthcare, cat. #TRK392 S.A. 13.2 Ci/mmol), 3.75 ng/well PDE10A enzyme (Enzo Life Science, Lausen, Switzerland cat #SE-534) with or without a specific test compound. A range of concentrations of the potential inhibitor was used to generate data for calculating the concentration of inhibitor resulting in 50% of the effect (e.g. IC50, the concentration of the competitor inhibiting PDE10A activity by 50%). Non-specific activity was tested without the enzyme. The reaction was initiated by the addition of the substrate solution (cGMP and [3H]-cGMP) and allowed to progress for 20 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by adding 25 .mu.l of YSi-SPA scintillation beads (GE Healthcare, cat. #RPNQ0150) in 18 mM zinc sulphate solution (stop reagent). After 1 h under shaking, the plate was centrifuged one minute at 170 g to allow beads to settle. Afterwards, radioactive counts were measured on a Perkin Elmer TopCount Scintillation plate reader.

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.
