The reaction mixture was 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 control reactions with no enzyme (for 100% inhibition) and controls with no inhibitor (for 0% inhibition). Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required for inhibiting 50% of Btk activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO and evaluated at eleven concentrations.

Assay: Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA): The PDE4B and 4D assays use scintillation proximity assay (SPA) technology to measure the inhibition of human recombinant PDE4B and PDE4D enzyme activity by compounds in vitro. The PDE4B and 4D assays are run in parallel using identical parameters, except for the concentration of enzyme (32 pM PDE4B and 16 pM PDE4D). The assays are performed in a 384-well format with 50 μL assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5; 1.3 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Brij) containing enough PDE4B and PDE4D to convert 20% of substrate (1 μM cAMP consisting of 20 nM 3H-cAMP+980 μM cold cAMP) and a range of inhibitors. Reactions are incubated for 30 min at 25° C. The addition of 20 μL of 8 mg/mL yitrium silicate SPA beads (PerkinElmer) stops the reaction. The plates are sealed (TopSeal, PerkinElmer) and the beads are allowed to settle for 8 hrs, after which they are read on the Trilux Microbeta overnight.

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.

Assay: Enzyme Activity: The Class B enzyme activities were measured in the presence of the test inhibitor in a fluorescence assay against a commercially available substrate consisting of a cephalosporin core linking 7-hydroxycoumarin to fluorescein (CCF2-FA). The enzyme (NDM-1, IMP-1 or VIM-1; for a review, see: Meine, M.-R.; Llarrull, L. I.; Vila, A. J. Antibiotics, 2014, 3, 285-316) and the substrate were diluted in 100 mM KH2PO4 buffer (pH 7) containing 0.005% Tween-20 and 10 μM ZnSO4. In the assay, the final concentration of enzyme was 1 pM, 2 pM and 30 pM for NDM-1, IMP-1 and VIM-1, respectively, and the final concentration of CCF2-FA was 1.25 μM. The test inhibitor was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and diluted 1:50 in the assay, resulting in a final concentration range of 20 μM to 0.00063 μM. In a 384-well microplate, the test inhibitor was incubated with the metallo-β-lactamase enzyme and the substrate for 2 hours at 25° C. Fluorescence at 460 nm following excitation at 405 nm was measured. The IC50 value was determined from semi-logarithmic plots of enzyme inhibition versus inhibitor concentration, with a curve generated using a 4-parameter fit.

Assay: Electrophysiology: Electrophysiological experiments were performed on days 3 to 5 after the micro-injection of mRNA. During the experiment the oocytes were constantly superfused by a solution containing (in mM) NaCl 90, KCl 1, HEPES 5, MgCl2 1, CaCl2 1 (pH 7.4). Oocytes were impaled by two glass microelectrodes (resistance: 0.4 MΩ) which were filled with a solution containing KCl 1M+K-acetate 1.5 M and voltage-clamped to −80 mV. The recordings were performed at room temperature using the Roboocyte two-electrode voltage clamp system (Multichannelsystem). After an initial equilibration period of 1.5 min GABA was added for 1.5 min at a concentration evoking approximately 20% of a maximal current response (EC20). After another rest interval of 2.5 min GABA was again added evoking a response of similar amplitude and shape. 0.5 min after the onset of this second GABA application the test compound, at a concentration corresponding to approximatively 30 fold its Ki, was added while GABA was still present. Current traces were recorded at a digitization rate of 10 Hz during and shortly before and after the GABA application.

Target: Kappa-type opioid receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P41145
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.

Target: Orexin receptor type 2 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O43614
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.

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.

Assay: Enzyme Inhibition Assays: Recombinant human NEP and recombinant human ACE were obtained commercially (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn., catalog numbers 1182-ZN and 929-ZN, respectively). The fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-D-Arg-Arg-Leu-Dap-(Dnp)-OH (Medeiros et al. (1997) Braz. J Med. Biol. Res. 30:1157-62; Anaspec, San Jose, Calif.) and Abz-Phe-Arg-Lys(Dnp)-Pro-OH (Araujo et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39:8519-8525; Bachem, Torrance, Calif.) were used in the NEP and ACE assays respectively.The assays were performed in 384-well white opaque plates at 37° C. using the fluorogenic peptide substrates at a concentration of 10 μM in Assay Buffer (NEP: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% polyethylene glycol sorbitan monolaurate (Tween-20), 10 μM ZnSO4; ACE: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20, 1 μM ZnSO4). The respective enzymes were used at concentrations that resulted in quantitative proteolysis of 1 μM of substrate after 20 minutes at 37° C.Test compounds were assayed over the range of concentrations from 10 μM to 20 pM. Test compounds were added to the enzymes and incubated for 30 minute at 37° C. prior to initiating the reaction by the addition of substrate. Reactions were terminated after 20 minutes of incubation at 37° C. by the addition of glacial acetic acid to a final concentration of 3.6% (v/v).Plates were read on a fluorometer with excitation and emission wavelengths set to 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively. Inhibition constants were obtained by nonlinear regression of the data using the equation (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.):ν=ν0/[1+(I/K′)]where ν is the reaction rate, ν0 is the uninhibited reaction rate, I is the inhibitor concentration and K′ is the apparent inhibition constant.

Compounds were then diluted 6:100 in assay buffer (20 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 6.0, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1 mM DL-Dithiothreitol) to yield 3× working solutions. Six microliters (μL) of the working solution was then transferred to white, low-volume assay plates (Costar #3673). A 1.5× assay mixture containing His-tagged bromodomain, Europium-conjugated anti-His antibody (Invitrogen PV5596) and the Alexa-647-conjugated probe molecule was also prepared. Twelve μL of this solution were added to the assay plate to reach a final volume of 18 μL. The final concentration of 1× assay buffer contains 2% DMSO, 50 μM-0.85 nM compound, 8 nM His-tagged bromodomain, 1 nM Europium-conjugated anti-His-tag antibody and 100 nM or 30 nM probe (for BDI or BDII, respectively). After a one-hour incubation at room temperature, TR-FRET ratios were determined using an Envision multilabel plate reader (Ex 340, Em 495/520).

Assay: Biochemical Assay: Biochemical PDGFRβ kinase assays were performed in 96 well microtiter plates that were coated overnight with 75 μg of poly-Glu-Tyr (4:1) in 10 mM Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS), pH 7.4. The coated plates were washed with 2 mls per well PBS+0.05% Tween-20 (PBS-T), blocked by incubation with PBS containing 1% BSA, then washed with 2 mls per well PBS-T prior to starting the reaction. Reactions were carried out in 100 μL reaction volumes containing 36 μM ATP in kinase buffer (50 mM Hepes buffer pH 7.4, 20 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM MnCl2 and 0.2 mM Na3VO4). Test compounds were reconstituted in 100% DMSO and added to the reaction to give a final DMSO concentration of 5%. Reactions were initiated by the addition 20 μl per well of kinase buffer containing 200-300 ng purified cytoplasmic domain PDGFR-b protein (Millipore). Following a 60 minute incubation at 30° C., the reactions were washed 2 mls per well PBS-T. 100 μl of a monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody-peroxidase conjugate diluted 1:10,000 in PBS-T was added to the wells for 30 minutes. Following a 2 mls per well wash with PBS-Tween-20, 100 μl of O-Phenylenediamine Dihydrochloride in phosphate-citrate buffer, containing urea hydrogen peroxide, was added to the wells for 7-10 minutes as a colorimetric substrate for the peroxidase. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 100 μl of 2.5N H2SO4 to each well and read using a microplate ELISA reader set at 492 nm. IC50 values for compound inhibition were calculated directly from graphs of optical density (arbitrary units) versus compound concentration following subtraction of blank values.

Assay: Compound Profiling Methods: Strains expressing SCD1 or SCD5 as the sole desaturase, the human SCD1 and SCD5 genes were used to evaluate inhibition of SCD1/SCD5 using reduced growth as a surrogate for SCD inhibition. These yeast strains express human SCD1 or SCD5 from a plasmid harbored in a strain in which the yeast OLE1 gene is deleted.All compound profiling experiments were performed using the same basic protocol. Yeast were cultured using standard techniques in complete synthetic media lacking uracil and containing yeast nitrogen base supplemented with 2% (w/v) glucose (SD-Ura) Starter cultures were inoculated in 3 mL SD-Ura media containing 0.01% tween and 0.2 mM palmitoleic and oleic acid. Cultures were incubated overnight in a 30° C. shaker incubator (225 rpm). Saturated morning cultures were centrifuged, washed in SD-Ura media lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids, and then diluted 1:20 in fresh SD-Ura media also lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids. Cells were grown for 6 h to an  (optical density) of 0.4-0.8 at 30° C. with shaking.Compound stocks (10 mM in 100% DMSO) were arrayed into 384-round well, v-bottom polypropylene plates and diluted according to indicated dilution factors. Compound administration was performed in two separate steps. First, 15 μL of SD-Ura was dispensed into clear 384-well assay plates using a MULTIDROP Combi reagent dispenser. The diluted compound stock plates were then applied to the assay plates using an automated workstation (Perkin Elmer JANUS) outfitted with a 384-pin tool containing slotted pins that deliver 100 nL of compound. The cultures described above were centrifuged and washed with media lacking TWEEN-20 or oleic and palmitoleic acids. Cultures were then resuspended at a 2-fold concentrated  of 0.02 (final  of 0.0.01) in SD-Ura. 15 μL of diluted culture was then dispensed into the pinned assay plate to achieve 30 μL of the 1× culture (0.01) and a top drug concentration of 33.3 μM.After yeast delivery, assay plates were incubated under humidified conditions at 30° C. for 40 h. Yeast growth was monitored by reading the  of each well using a microplate reader (Perkin Elmer EnVision). Data were analyzed as follows. Raw data were processed by background subtracting and converting values to a percent of the nontreated condition for that strain [(EXP-0.035)/(DMSO-0.035)×100%].

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: Radioligand Binding Assay: Radioligand binding assays for Sigma-1 receptors and Sigma-2 receptors were carried out by a commercial contract research organization. For Sigma-1 binding, various concentrations of test compounds from 100 μM to 1 nM were used to displace 8 nM [3H](+)pentazocine from endogenous receptors on Jurkat cell membranes (Ganapathy M E et al. 1991, J Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 289:251-260). 10 μM Haloperidol was used to define non-specific binding. For Sigma-2 receptors various concentrations of test compounds from 100 μM to 1 nM were used to displace 5 nM [3H] 1,3-Di-(2-tolyl)guanidine from endogenous receptors on membranes from rat cerebral cortex in the presence of 300 nM (+)pentazocine to mask Sigma-1 receptors. (Bowen W D, et al. 1993, Mol. Neuropharmcol 3:117-126). 10 μM Haloperidol was used to define non-specific binding. Reactions were terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/C filters using a Brandel 12R cell harvester followed by two washes with ice-cold buffer. Radioactivity on the dried filter discs was measured using a liquid scintillation analyzer (Tri-Carb 2900TR; PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences). The displacement curves were plotted and the Ki values of the test ligands for the receptor subtypes were determined using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, Calif.). The percentage specific binding was determined by dividing the difference between total bound (disintegrations per minute) and nonspecific bound (disintegrations per minute) by the total bound (disintegrations per minute).

Assay: Enzymatic Activity Assay: The compounds were tested for serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK-1) inhibitory activity in a substrate phosphorylation assay designed to measure the ability of the isolated enzyme to catalyze the transfer of phosphate from ATP to serine/threonine residues in a fluorescein-labeled substrate peptide, using recombinant human SGK-1 enzyme produced in a baculovirus system (Biomol, Hamburg, Germany, Cat. No. 4-331). The synthesized fluorescent labeled peptide substrate contained (5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein)-RPRAATF-NH2. The phosphorylated substrate peptide and non-phosphorylated substrate peptide were separated with caliper life science's lab-chip technology based on a micro fluidics method. All fluid flow was established on the chip by applying a vacuum of a few psi to the waste well transporting fluid from various sources through interconnecting channels. Because the phosphoryl group is doubly negatively charged, under the pressure-driven hydrodynamic flow and the voltage-driven flow within the electric field, the fluorescent labeled peptide substrate and its phosphorylation product appear at different times in the detection window to the detection point. Substrate turnover can thus be determined as the ratio of the product peak area and the sum of substrate peak area and product peak area.The enzyme reaction was carried out in a buffer containing 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM MnCl2, 2 mM DTT, and 0.03% bovine serum albumine. The enzyme was pre-incubated with the test compound for 30 min at 24° C. The kinase reaction was initiated by addition of the substrate mixture containing the peptide substrate (final concentration 1 μM) and ATP (final concentration 10 μM). After 60 min incubation at 37° C., the enzyme reaction was terminated by adding a buffer containing 100 mM Hepes (pH 7.4) and 35 mM EDTA.

Assay: ERalpha Binding Assay: The assay principle is that ER alpha-LBD (GST) is added to a fluorescent ligand to form a receptor/fluorophore complex. A terbium-labelled anti-GST antibody (Product code PV3551) is used to indirectly label the receptor by binding to its GST tag, and competitive binding is detected by a test compound's ability to displace the fluorescent ligand, resulting in a loss of TR-FRET signal between the Tb-anti-GST antibody and the tracer. The assay was performed as follows with all reagent additions carried out using the Beckman Coulter BioRAPTR FRD microfluidic workstation:1. Acoustic dispense 120 nL of the test compound into a black low volume 384 well assay plates.2. Prepare 1×ER alpha-LBD/Tb-antiGST Ab in ES2 screening buffer and incubate for 15 minutes.3. Dispense 6 μL of the 1×AR-LBD/Tb-anti-GST Ab reagent into each well of the assay plate followed by 6 μL of Fluorophore reagent into each well of the assay plate4. Cover the assay plate to protect the reagents from light and evaporation, and incubate at room temperature for 4 hours.5. Excite at 337 nm and measure the fluorescent emission signal of each well at 490 nm and 520 nm using the BMG PheraSTAR.Compounds were dosed directly from a compound source microplate containing serially diluted compound (4 wells containing 10 mM, 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 10 nM final compound respectively) to an assay microplate using the Labcyte Echo 550. The Echo 550 is a liquid handler that uses acoustic technology to perform direct microplate-to-microplate transfers of DMSO compound solutions and the system can be programmed to transfer multiple small nL volumes of compound from the different source plate wells to give the desired serial dilution of compound in the assay which is then back-filled to normalise the DMSO concentration across the dilution range.In total 120 nL of compound plus DMSO were added to each well and compounds were tested in a 12-point concentration response format over a final compound concentration range of 10, 2.917, 1.042, 0.2083, 0.1, 0.0292, 0.0104, 0.002083, 0.001, 0.0002917, 0.0001042, and 0.00001 μM respectively. TR-FRET dose response data obtained with each compound was exported into a suitable software package (such as Origin or Genedata) to perform curve fitting analysis. Competitive ER alpha binding was expressed as an IC50 value.

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.
