Assay: Inhibition Test for Each Compound of the Present Invention Against 20-HETE Producing Enzymes (CYP4F2 and CYP4A11): In the CYP4F2 inhibition test, the reaction solution containing each compound [final concentration of 50 mM, KPO4 (pH 7.4), 2.5 μM luciferine derivative, and 1 mM NADPH] was added to an Escherichia coli membrane fraction (100 μg/mL protein) in which human CYP4F2 had been expressed. In the CYP4A11 inhibition test, the reaction solution containing each compound [final concentration of 100 mM, Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 60 μM luciferine derivative, 1.3 mM NADP+, 3.3 mM Glucose 6-Phosphate, 3.3 mM MgCl2, and 0.4 U/mL Glucose 6-Phosphate dehydrogenase] was added to an Escherichia coli membrane fraction (100 μg/mL protein) in which human CYP4A11 had been expressed. Following this, the membrane fraction was left to stand at room temperature for 60 minutes to perform an enzymatic reaction. After the reaction, a luciferine detection reagent was added, and the luminescence value was measured using a plate reader. By using that value, the percent inhibition of 20-HETE producing enzyme (%) was calculated according to the equation described below, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) for each compound was calculated.

After centrifugation (2K×G, 5 min at 4° C.), the supernatant was aspirated and the pellets frozen and stored at −80° C. Cells were resuspended in PBS in the presence of 1 tablet of protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Cat. #11836145001) per 50 mL. Each cell pellet from a 15 cm plate was resuspended in 10 mL, stored on ice, and homogenized for 45 sec prior to addition to the reactions. Competition binding experiments in 96 well polypropylene plates were performed using [3H]-(1-(5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-1-((S)-2-(5-phenyl-(1,3,4)oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-methanone) (Moraveck Corporation, specific activity=35.3 Ci/mmol), diluted to a 10 nM concentration in PBS (4 nM final). Compounds were solubilized in 100% DMSO (Acros Organics, Cat. #61042-1000) and tested over a range of 7 concentrations (from 0.1 nM to 10 μM). The final concentration of DMSO in the reactions is equal to or less than 0.1%. Total and nonspecific binding was determined in the absence and presence of 10 μM almorexant. The total volume of each reaction is 200 μL (20 μL of diluted compounds, 80 μL of [3H]-(1-(5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-1-((S)-2-(5-phenyl-(1,3,4)oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-methanone) diluted in PBS and 100 μL of the cell suspension). Reactions were run for 60 min at room temperature and terminated by filtration through GF/C filter plates (PerkinElmer, Cat. #6005174) presoaked in 0.3% polyethylenimine using the cell harvester (PerkinElmer Filtermate). The plates were washed 3 times by aspirating 30 ml PBS through the plates. Plates were dried in 55° C. oven for 60 min, scintillation fluid was added, and the radioactivity was counted on a Topcount (Packard).

Target: Vasopressin V1b receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P47901
Assay: Binding Test for V1b Receptor: Human V1b receptor was transiently expressed in 293FT cells (Invitrogen). The cells were collected and then homogenated in a 15 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 2 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.3 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, and 1 mmol/L glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid). The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 50,000×g at 4° C. for 20 minutes. The precipitate was resuspended in a 75 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 12.5 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.3 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, 1 mmol/L glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid, and 250 mmol/L sucrose) to give a crude membrane preparation, which was stored at −80° C. until the binding test was initiated. In the binding test, the crude membrane preparation was diluted with a 50 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 10 mmol/L magnesium chloride and 0.1% bovine serum albumin) and mixed with each test compound and [3H]AVP (final concentration: 0.4 to 1 nmol/L), followed by incubation at room temperature for 60 minutes. The test compound was serially diluted with DMSO so that it would have final concentrations of 0.01 nmol/L to 1 μmol/L at the time of mixing. After the incubation, the mixture was suction filtered through a GF/C filter that was preliminarily impregnated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine. The GF/C filter was dried and after adding a scintillator, the residual radioactivity on the filter was measured using TopCount (PerkinElmer Inc.). The radioactivity in the presence of unlabeled AVP at 10 mmol/L was defined as 0%, and the radioactivity in the absence of unlabeled AVP was defined as 100%. A dose-response curve was plotted from radio activities in the presence of a test compound at various concentrations, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated.

UniProt: P29371
Assay: Aequorin Assay with Human NK-3 Receptor: Changes in intracellular calcium levels are a recognized indicator of G protein-coupled receptor activity. The efficacy of compounds of the invention to inhibit NKA-mediated NK-3 receptor activation was assessed by an in vitro Aequorin functional assay. Chinese Hamster Ovary recombinant cells expressing the human NK-3 receptor and a construct that encodes the photoprotein apoaequorin were used for this assay. In the presence of the cofactor coelenterazine, apoaequorin emits a measurable luminescence that is proportional to the amount of intracellular (cytoplasmic) free calcium.Antagonist TestingThe antagonist activity of compounds of the invention is measured following pre-incubation (3 minutes) of the compound (at various concentrations) with the cells, followed by addition of the reference agonist (NKA) at a final concentration equivalent to the EC80 (3 nM) and recording of emitted light (FDSS 6000 Hamamatsu) over the subsequent 90-second period. The intensity of the emitted light is integrated using the reader software. Compound antagonist activity is measured based on the concentration-dependent inhibition of the luminescence response to the addition of Neurokinin A.Inhibition curves are obtained for compounds of the invention and the concentrations of compounds which inhibit 50% of reference agonist response (IC50) were determined (see results in table 2 below). The IC50 values shown in table 2 indicate that compounds of the invention are potent NK-3 antagonist compounds.

Target: Kallikrein-1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P06870
Assay: Kallikrein Assay: The effectiveness of a compound of the present invention as an inhibitor of Kallikrein can be determined using a relevant purified serine protease, and an appropriate synthetic substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of the chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate by the relevant serine protease was measured both in the absence and presence of compounds of the present invention. Assays were conducted at rt or at 37° C. Hydrolysis of the substrate resulted in release of amino trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC), which was monitored spectrofluorometrically by measuring the increase in emission at 510 nm with excitation at 405 nm. A decrease in the rate of fluorescence change in the presence of inhibitor is indicative of enzyme inhibition. Such methods are known to one skilled in the art. The results of this assay are expressed as the inhibitory constant, Ki.Kallikrein determinations were made in 50 mM HEPES buffer at pH 7.4 containing 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, and 0.1% PEG 8000 (polyethylene glycol; Fisher Scientific). Determinations were made using purified Human plasma Kallikrein at a final concentration of 0.5 nM (Enzyme Research Laboratories) and the synthetic substrate, Acetyl-K-P-R-AFC (Sigma # C6608) at a concentration of 100 mM.Activity assays were performed by diluting a stock solution of substrate at least tenfold to a final concentration ≤0.2 Km into a solution containing enzyme or enzyme equilibrated with inhibitor. Times required to achieve equilibration between enzyme and inhibitor were determined in control experiments. The reactions were performed under linear progress curve conditions and fluorescence increase measured at 405 Ex/510 Em nm. Values were converted to percent inhibition of the control reaction (after subtracting 100% Inhibition value). IC50 was determined by inflection point from a four parameter logistic curve fit. Ki was calculated using the Cheng Prusoff equation, Ki=IC50/(1+([S]/Km)).

Target: Glutamate NMDA receptor; GRIN1/GRIN2B (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q05586
Assay: Biological Assay (standard): NMDA receptors are ion channels that are highly permeable to Ca2+ ions, rendering it possible to monitor NMDA receptor function using cell-based calcium flux assay. In this assay, co-agonists glutamate and glycine are added to cells heterologously expressing human GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptors to initiate cellular Ca2+ influx. The time course of the changes in intracellular calcium is measured using a fluorescent dye and a FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) device.Twenty four hours before measurements, the expression of the NMDA receptors in the stable cell line is induced with Tet-On inducible system in the presence of a non-selective NMDA receptor blocker. On the day of the experiment, cell culture media is carefully washed and the cells are loaded with Calcium 5 Dye Kit (Molecular Devices) in dye loading buffer containing 137 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2), 0.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4. After 1 h incubation at the room temperature, the dye is washed away with the assay buffer (137 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2), 0.01 mM EDTA, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4) In the FLIPR TETRA reader, various concentrations of the test compounds are added to the cells for 5 min while fluorescence is monitored to detect potential agonist activity. Next, co-agonists, glutamate and glycine are added for another 5 minutes. The concentration of glutamate corresponding to ~EC40 used to maximize the assay's signal window and ability to detect NMDA receptor antagonists and negative allosteric modulators. A saturating concentration (10 μM) of glycine is also present in the assay. A non-selective NMDA receptor antagonist, (+)MK-801 is used as a positive control for antagonist activity. The fluorescent signal in the presence of test compounds is quantified and normalized to the signal defined by the appropriate control wells.

Assay: cAMP Assay: Compounds are dissolved and diluted in DMSO. The final test solution contains 1% DMSO. The cAMP standard (Lance cAMP 384 Kit; PerkinElmer, Cat# AD0264) is prepared in assay buffer (HBSS with 0.1% BSA, 5 mM HEPES, 0.5M IBMX, pH 7.4) containing 1% DMSO and the cAMP standard curve is included at least on one plate. Cells are centrifuged and suspended in assay buffer (incl. 1:100 diluted Alexa antibody).For the assay 5 μl of a cell suspension (approximately 5000 cells/well)¿incl. Alexa antibody (diluted 1:100) are added into a 384 well MTP microtitre plate excepting one row or column (depending on the plate layout), which is reserved for the standard curve. Then 2 μl of compound sample is added as concentration response curve (e.g. le-5M to 6e-10M), usually in triplicates. Each assay contains incubations with vehicle controls instead of compound as controls for non-inhibited cAMP generation (100% CTL; ¿high values¿) and incubations with 1 μM Somatosatin as controls for full inhibition and background (0% CTL; 'low values'). After approximately 10-15 min incubation time 3 μl Forskolin (dissolved in DMSO, final conc. 15 μM) is added. Then the plates are shaken briefly and incubated for 60 min at room temperature. After 60 min 10 μl of the detection mix is added into all wells followed by an additional incubation period of 1 h. The plates are read in a suitable plate reader.The analysis of the data is based on the "ratio" of the time-resolved fluorescence measurements of donor and acceptor fluorophore (Ex: 320 nm; Em1: 665 nm; Em2: 615 nm; ratio 665/615). From this ratio, cAMP concentrations are calculated from standard curve and the EC50 is estimated by least square curve fit program.

Assay: Receptor [35S] GTPgammaS Binding Assays: Compounds were loaded in a 384 Falcon v-bottom plate (0.5 μl/well in an 11 point, 3-fold dilution). Membranes prepared from S1P1/CHO cells or EDG3-Gal5-bla HEK293T cells (EDG3 equivalent S1P3) were added to the compound plate (40 l/well, final protein 3 μg/well) with MULTIDROP®. [35S]GTP (1250 Ci/mmol, Perkin Elmer) was diluted in assay buffer: 20 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA (ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid), 1 mM DTT (Dithiothreitol), 10 μM GDP, 0.1% fatty acid free BSA, and 10 μg/ml Saponin to 0.4 nM. 40 μl of the [35S] GTP solution was added to the compound plate with a final concentration of 0.2 nM. The reaction was kept at room temperature for 45 min. At the end of incubation, all the mixtures in the compound plate were transferred to Millipore 384-well FB filter plates via the VELOCITY11 ® Vprep liquid handler. The filter plate was washed with water 4 times by using the manifold Embla plate washer and dried at 60° C. for 45 min. MicroScint 20 scintillation fluid (30 μl) was added to each well for counting on the Packard TOPCOUNT®. EC50 is defined as the agonist concentration that corresponds to 50% of the Ymax (maximal response) obtained for each individual compound tested.A smaller value for GTPγS S1P1 EC50 value indicated greater activity for the compound in the GTPγS S1P1 binding assay. Thus the compounds of the present invention may be used in treating, preventing, or curing various S1P1 receptor-related conditions. The compounds have potential use in treating, preventing, or curing autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, psoriasis, or minimizing or reducing rejection of transplanted organs.

Assay: TLR7/8/9 Inhibition Reporter Assay: HEK-Blue-cells (Invivogen) overexpressing human TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9 receptors were used for screening inhibitors of these receptors using an inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter gene under the control of the IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1-binding sites. Briefly, cells are seeded into Greiner 384 well plates (15000 cells per well for TLR7, 20,000 for TLR8 and 25,000 for TLR9) and then treated with test compounds in DMSO to yield a final dose response concentration range of 0.05 nM-50 μM. After a 30 minute compound pre-treatment at room temperature, the cells are then stimulated with a TLR7 ligand (gardiquimod at a final concentration of 7.5 μM), TLR8 ligand (R848 at a final concentration of 15.9 μM) or TLR9 ligand (ODN2006 at a final concentration of 5 nM) to activate NF-κB and AP-1 which induce the production of SEAP. After a 22 hour incubation at 37° C., 5% CO2, SEAP levels are determined with the addition of HEK-Blue Detection reagent (Invivogen), a cell culture medium that allows for detection of SEAP, according to manufacturer's specifications. The percent inhibition is determined as the % reduction in the HEK-Blue signal present in wells treated with agonist plus DMSO alone compared to wells treated with a known inhibitor.

Assay: AKT/PKB Kinase Assay: In order to measure AKT inhibition in the Caliper Life Sciences LC3000, a TTP Mosquito liquid handling instrument was used to place 125 nl of the appropriate concentration of inhibitor in 100% DMSO (for a dose response curve calculation) into each well of a 384-well plate. To this reaction, the following components were added to a final volume of 12.5 μl:    0.1 ng/μl His-AKT (Full Length) (Invitrogen, Part # P2999, Lot #641228C);    160 μM ATP (Fluka, 02055);    1 mM DTT (Sigma, D0632);    1 mM MgCl2 (Sigma, M1028);    1 μM substrate peptide (sequence FITC-AHA-GRPRTSSFAEG-NH2), synthesized by    Tufts Peptide Synthesis service;    100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (Calbiochem, 391338); and    0.015% Brij-35 (Sigma, B4184).The reaction was incubated for 90 min at 25° C., and then stopped by the addition of 70 μl of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA (Sigma, E7889)). The plate was read on a Caliper LC 3000 in an Off-Chip mobility shift assay format, using the following parameters for a 12-sipper chip: screening pressure −2.3 psi, upstream voltage −500, and downstream voltage −3000. These conditions cause unphosphorylated substrate and phosphorylated product peptide to resolve as separate peaks allowing direct measurement of percentage of conversion of substrate to product. The percent conversion was plotted against concentration of inhibitor to produce a sigmoidal dose response curve, from which an IC50 was calculated.

Assay: Omnia Assay Protocol for Potency Assessment Against FGFR 4 Enzyme: A 10× stock solution of FGFR4-WT (PR4380C or P3054), (from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) corresponding to method a in Table 10, was prepared as described below. Alternatively, a 10× stock solution of FGFR4-WT (F01-11G), (SignalChem, Richmond, BC) corresponding to method b in Table 10, was prepared as described below. A solution of 1.4×ATP (AS001A) and 5× Tyr-Sox conjugated peptide substrate (KNZ3101) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM P3-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT (DS001A). 5 μL of FGFR4 was pipetted into a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.), containing a 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO. The serially diluted compounds were prepared on a Tecan EVO100. A second addition of 10 μl of Tyr-Sox FGFR4 substrate was added to each well and the kinase reactions were started with the addition of 35 μL of 1.4×ATP. The reactions were monitored every 71 seconds for 240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to −60 minutes) from each reaction was determined from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (seconds) and then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate IC50 from log[Inhibitor] vs Response (Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.)).

Assay: Screen Quest Fluo-8 No Wash Calcium Assay Kit: Ca2+ influx was measured in HEK-293 cells stably transfected with the receptor using Screen Quest Fluo-8 No Wash Calcium Assay Kit (AAt Bioquest®). Briefly, once inside the cells, the lipophilic blocking groups of Fluo-8 are cleaved by non-specific cell esterases, resulting in a negatively-charged fluorescent-dye that stays inside cells. Its fluorescence increases upon binding to calcium. When HEK-293/P2X7 cells were stimulated with BzATP, Ca2+ entered the cells and the fluorescence of Fluo-8 NW increaseed. The dye absorption spectrum was compatible with excitation at 488 nm by argon laser sources and its emission wavelength was in the range of 515-575 nm.To routinely test the compounds, HEK-293 cells stably transfected with rat P2X7R were seeded overnight in growth medium at 10000, 15000 or 20000 cells/well in 384-well plate, according to the level of response after thawing. 24 hours later, the medium was removed and the cells were pre-loaded at RT for 1 hour with 20 μL/w of Fluo-8 NW prepared in Tyrode 0.3 mM Ca2+/Mg2+-free. Compounds of the invention were tested at 8 concentrations (4 replicates for each concentration): 10-3.16-1-0.316-0.1-0.0316-0.01 and 0.00316 μM, in the same plate.Compounds were tested at FLIPRTETRA according to the following method:    first injection at FLIPRTETRA of 10 μL of 3× test compound (in Tyrode's buffer 0.3 mM Ca2+/Mg2+-free+DMSO 0.5% final concentration)    5′ incubation    second injection at FLIPRTETRA of 15 □L of 3× BzATP at ECK) (in Tyrode's buffer 0.3 mM Ca2+/Mg2+-free+BSA 0.0003% final concentration)    Fluorescence recording for 3′Between one plate and the following, tips were extensively washed with water, then with 100% DMSO and finally with water to avoid carry-over inside the tips.The effect of the test compounds was measured as percent inhibition vs a reference antagonist and IC50 values were calculated accordingly.

Assay: FLIPR Ca2+ Flux Assay: The cells are seeded at 20,000 cells/well into Becton-Dickinson black 384-well clear bottom sterile plates coated with poly-D-lysine. All reagents were from GIBCO-Invitrogen Corp. The seeded plates are incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Ala-6,12 human orexin-A as the agonist is prepared as a 1 mM stock solution in 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and diluted in assay buffer (HBSS containing 20 mM HEPES, 0.1% BSA and 2.5 mM probenecid, pH7.4) for use in the assay at a final concentration of 70 pM. Test compounds are prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 384-well plates, first in DMSO, then assay buffer. On the day of the assay, cells are washed 3 times with 100 μl assay buffer and then incubated for 60 min (37° C., 5% CO2) in 60 μl assay buffer containing 1 μM Fluo-4AM ester, 0.02% pluronic acid, and 1% BSA. The dye loading solution is then aspirated and cells are washed 3 times with 100 μl assay buffer. 30 μl of that same buffer is left in each well. Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices), test compounds are added to the plate in a volume of 25 μl, incubated for 5 min and finally 25 μl of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals for 5 minutes and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 70 pM Ala-6,12 orexin-A with buffer in place of antagonist. For each antagonist, IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonist response) is determined. Alternatively, compound potency can be assessed by a radioligand binding assay (described in Bergman et. al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2008, 18, 1425-1430) in which the inhibition constant (Ki) is determined in membranes prepared from CHO cells expressing either the OX1 or OX2 receptor. The intrinsic orexin receptor antagonist activity of a compound which may be used in the present invention may be determined by these assays.All of the final compounds of the following examples had activity in antagonizing the human orexin-2 receptor in the aforementioned assays with an IC50 of about 0.1 nM to 1500 nM. All of the final compounds of the following examples had activity in the FLIPR assay with an IC50 of about 5 nM to 500 nM against the orexin-2 receptor. Additional data is provided in the following Examples. Such a result is indicative of the intrinsic activity of the compounds in use as antagonists of orexin-1 receptor and/or the orexin-2 receptor. In general, one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that a substance is considered to effectively antagonize the orexin receptor if it has an IC50 of less than about 50 μM, or more specifically less than about 1000 nM.

Assay: In Vitro Kinase Assay: MNK1 and MNK2 inhibitor activity was determined using recombinant kinase domains expressed in E. coli. MNK1 and MNK2 were expressed as GST fusion proteins and the GST tag was removed using PreScission protease. After concentration to 10-15 mg/ml the proteins were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C. MNK1 and MNK2 were activated using recombinant ERK2 which was activated using a constitutively active mutant of MEK1, both ERK2 and MEK1 were expressed in E. coli as N-terminally his tagged proteins. Recombinant ERK2 was activated by incubating 11.3 μM of the kinase with 1 μM MEK1 and 100 μM ATP. This reaction mixture was then used immediately for the activation of the MNKs. The activation of the MNK1 was performed by incubating 5.0 μM of MNK1 with 0.3 μM of activated ERK2 and 500 μM ATP at 30° C. for 6 hours. The activation of MNK2 was performed by incubating 50 μM of MNK2 with 3.0 μM of activated ERK2 and 500 μM ATP at 30° C. for 2 hours. The activated MNKs were stored at −20° C. until required for assay.

Assay: [35S]GTPgammaS Binding: The human APJ receptor was cloned by polymerase chain reaction and the gene encoding the receptor was subcloned in pFLAG-CMV-3 expression vector (Sigma, Saint Louis, Mo. USA) in-house at Amgen. A GTPγS binding assay was performed on membranes prepared from CHO cells stably expressing human APJ receptor. The optimum experimental conditions for the concentrations of GDP, MgCl2, and NaCl in the assay buffer were initially determined. The assay was performed in assay buffer [20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, and 0.1% (w/v) BSA with 200 mM NaCl, 3 μM GDP] and membranes expressing human APJ receptor/well along with WGA PS beads. The reaction was initiated by addition of 0.2 nM [35S]GTPγS (Perkin Elmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Waltham USA) in the absence or presence of various ligands and incubated at RT for 90 min. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 100 μM GTPγS and was always less than 0.2% of total binding. All the results presented are means of several independent experiments and analyzed by non-linear regression methods using commercially available program Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, Calif.).
