Assay: Test for Evaluating Human MC Receptor Activation, Using Cells Expressing Human MC4, MC1, or MC3 Receptor: Experiment Method(1) Construction of Human MC Receptor-Expressing VectorA human MC4 receptor gene (GenBank Accession No.: NM_005912.2), a human MC1 receptor gene (GenBank Accession No.: NM_002386.3), or a human MC3 receptor gene (GenBank Accession No.: NM_019888.3) was introduced into an expression vector pcDNA 3.1/V5-His TOPO (registered trademark) (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.).(2) Construction of Cells Transiently Expressing Human MC ReceptorAn expression vector for a human MC4, MC1, or MC3 receptor was introduced into FreeStyle 293-F cell (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., product number: R790-07). For the introduction, electroporation was employed. That is, 1×107 FreeStyle 293-F cell were suspended in 80 μL of an electroporation buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., product number: B201-100), and 20 μg of the expression vector was added thereto. The resultant was put into a cuvette (OC-100 Processing Assembly, MaxCyte, Inc.) and electroporated with MaxCyte SIX (registered trademark) (MaxCyte, Inc.). The cells were cultured over one day, suspended in a Cell Banker (registered trademark) 1 (JUJI FIELD Inc.), product number: BLC-1), and stored frozen until their use.(3) Measurement of Amount of cAMP ProducedMeasurement was carried out by using a LANCE (registered trademark) Ultra cAMP Kit (PerkinElmer, Inc.) in accordance with the attached instructions. That is, after dissolution in DMSO, the test compound (a final concentration of 1 pM to 30 μM) diluted with an assay buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 5 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), 0.1% bovine serum albumin, pH 7.4), or α-MSH (Bachem Inc., a final concentration of 1 pM to 30 μM) was added to OptiPlate-384 (PerkinElmer, Inc.). Furthermore, a suspension of cells transiently expressing the human MC4, MC1, or MC3 receptor prepared by using the assay buffer was added thereto at 1,000 cells/well, followed by being left to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. Thereafter, an Eu-cAMP tracer solution and an ULight-anti-cAMP solution were added thereto, followed by being left to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. The amount of cAMP was calculated using EnVision (registered trademark) (PerkinElmer Inc.).For the agonistic activity, an efficacy (EC50 (μM)) was calculated by a non-linear regression method with a Sigmoid-Emax model, by defining the maximum reaction with α-MSH as 100% and the reaction with the vehicle alone as 0%, respectively.

UniProt: Q08499
Assay: PDE4 Assay: The human PDE4D catalytic domain (UniProt no. Q08499 [S380-L740]) was incubated with a mixture of non-labelled cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and fluorescein amidite (FAM) conjugated cAMP and titrated test or reference Compound. Following brief incubation the enzymatic reaction was stopped by addition of binding buffer containing nanoparticles with immobilized trivalent metal ions capable of binding 1) AMP phospho groups and 2) terbium (Tb) donor fluorophores. Subsequent excitation of the Tb donor triggers time-resolved FRET to adjacent FAM acceptor molecules resulting in light emission. In the presence of a PDE4 inhibitor, AMP generation was reduced resulting in a lower fluorescence signal. The cAMP phosphodiester is not bound by the detection system.The results were calculated as the molar concentrations resulting in 50% inhibition of the substrate cleavage compared to controls samples, and are expressed as a range of IC50 (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.).

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 Tb-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 (423, 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.

Assay: cAMP HTRF Assay to Determine the Activity of hPDE4B1: The inhibiting effect of the compounds on the enzyme activity of human PDE4B1 was measured by the quantification of 5′-adenosine monophosphate (5′-AMP), which is formed from 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Human recombinant enzyme, expressed in Sf9 cells, and the HTRF (homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence) detection method were used in the assay.The test compound or water (control) was mixed with the human recombinant PDE4B1 enzyme (4.8 U) in a buffer consisting of 44.4 mM tris-HCl, 5.28 mM MgCl2, 2.64 mM DTT and 0.044% Tween 20 (pH 7.8). After adding the cAMP enzyme substrate (final concentration 40 nM), the mixture was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then a fluorescence acceptor (Dye2 marked with cAMP), a fluorescence donor (anti-cAMP antibody marked with a europium cryptate) and the non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine; final concentration 1 mM) were added. After 60 min the fluorescence transfer, which correlates with the amount of remaining cAMP, was measured with a microplate reader (Rubystar, BMG) at λex=337 nm, λem=620 nm and λem=665 nm. The enzyme activity was calculated from the quotient formed from the measured signal at 665 nm and that at 620 nm. The result was expressed as the percentage inhibition of enzyme activity of the control (without PDE4 inhibitor). The enzyme was omitted for measurement of the basal control.[N.
